Re: field fee waiver
Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members,
On behalf of the Palm Desert Youth Soccer League, I request a waiver of the fee for the use of the
Palm Desert Soccer Park from July 29 -August 2,2002 between 6:00-9:00 P.M.to host an Olympic
Development Program Scouting Camp.
Our youth soccer organization is honored and excited to have an opportunity to offer this wonderful
ro to the children of our community.Byofferingit here locally,our children are not faced with
program tY Y�
the necessity of traveling out of the valley to participate. Therefore,we anticipate many more local
youth soccer players attending the Olympic Development Program that otherwise would not due to
the traveling distances.
Each Olympic Development Program summer site receives a budget. Expenses include field rental,
insurance,hotel accommodations for staff,etcetera. Any money that I can save from the budget can
then be used for camper scholarships. I would utilize these funds to include promising young soccer
athletes,who can't afford the registration fee, the ability to attend the program and the opportunity
to be seen by top college and club coaches, ODP scouts,and ODP coaches.
Our youth soccer organization is very grateful to you for your generous and beautiful gift,the Palm
Desert Soccer Park. Many, many children spend countless hours playing on those fields. We hope
that you are pleased with the programs that we currently offer to the children of the community and
that you find this endeavor as an exciting extension of the great youth soccer programs happening
right here in Palm Desert.
Thank you for the consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
Camille Casey
