Recommendation:
By Minute Motion,approve the request from Soroptimist International of Palm Desert to fund an amount not to

Background:
Soroptimist International of Palm Desert, the El Paseo Business Association, and local galleries and
restaurants are joining once again to host the Seventh Annual Art & Wine Tour of El Paseo on Friday,
February 28, 2003. Each year this event is organized to raise funds to provide scholarships and benefit
several desert charities.
Participants will enjoy an evening of wine tasting and food sampling while browsing the fine art galleries
along El Paseo. The tour of the galleries is completely self-directed, so participants can begin at any gallery
and enjoy the event at their own pace.
The City of Palm Desert has sponsored this event in the past and is once again being requested by Soroptimist
to participate. The City will receive recognition as a sponsor in all event advertising and programs. Typically
the City has incurred costs for placement of three klieg lights and operation of the Shopper Hopper during the
event. Klieg light rental is not to exceed$1,000.00 and the Shopper Hopper expenses will run approximately
$300.00 for the evening.
