From: Acting Assistant City Manager
Subject: Consideration of a Request from Soroptimist International of Palm Desert for
Funding for Kleig Lights for the Fourth Annual El Paseo Art & Wine Tour.
Date: February 24, 2000
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion, approve the request from Soroptimist International of Palm Desert to fund the
use of three kleig lights at a cost not to exceed$900.00 for use in its fourth annual"Art&Wine Tour
of El Paseo,"to be held on March 3, 2000.
Discussion:
Last year, the El Paseo Business Association, Soroptimist International of Palm Desert, five art
galleries, and the City of Palm Desert sponsored the third annual "Art& Wine Tour of El Paseo".
The event was again very successful. This year, the City of Palm Desert will be recognized as a
sponsor once again. I have attached a copy of the event flier which also lists the participating
galleries.
Those attending the event will be transported along El Paseo by a Shopper Hopper. Sonia Campbell,
Member of Soroptimist International of Palm Desert, has confirmed the use of this vehicle with
Sunline Transit Agency. At each gallery, people will be able to browse the fine art on display,
sample many varieties of wine and champagne, and enjoy appetizers provided by El Paseo's chefs.
The tour of the galleries is completely self-directed,so participants can begin at any gallery and enjoy
the event at their own pace.
