Dear Mr.Altman:
The Coachella Valley Recreation and Park District has offered an Annual Faster Egg
Hunt for the past ten years in the Palm Desert Community Park. This event has been
free to the public and has always been well received by the community. The event is run
solely by the Recreation District Staff who donate their time for this evening event.
Due to the State budget cuts over the past two years,the District has lost over$500,000
in property taxes. Therefore,we are forced to cut some of our special events unless we
can get a sponsor to help subsidize the costs. We would like the City of Palm Desert to
consider co-sponsoring this event by contributing$700.00 toward candy,eggs and
prizes. If this does not seem to be feasible perhaps you can suggest some area
businesses that might be willing to contribute to this wonderful event. We would also
like to move this event from the Palm Desert Community Park to the Civic Center Park
so that we can utilize the electrical power from our own building.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please feel free to call me . Your
prompt consideration of this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
