Because Soroptimist International's mission is to provide assistance to deserving programs and individuals throughout our community, event planners have suggested raising funds through the sale of beer and wine at their Friday evening dinner, which has been scheduled to be held in Pavilion No. 1 at the Palm Desert Civic Center Park. All regulations, restrictions, and requirements established by Alcohol Beverage Control would be strictly adhered to, and sale and consumption of beer and wine would be confined to the cemented area of the pavilion. Recipients of monies collected at this event would be the organizations and programs outlined in the attached brochure. Your every consideration of this request is most appreciated, as is the opportunity to showcase Palm Desert to the professional women who will be traveling here from cities throughout Soroptimist's Golden West Region. Thank you in advance for your attention to this request.
