RE: Ed Mullins Picnic

Dear Pat:
This letter will confirm the r eservation of Sunday, March 20, 2005 for the "Ed Mullins
Annual Picnic in the Park".This event is a social gathering for our members, their
families and friends, and not considered a fund raiser.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization we request waiver of fees for reservation of the
large Pavilion in Civic Center Park. Setup would commence at 9:00 a.m. in order to
be ready for the 11:00 a.m. "social hour" and Noon lunch. Tear down and cleanup
should be completed no later than 5:00 p.m.
You were so thoughtful last year in providing transportation to and from the Pavilion for
our senior members, we would request this service again, if possible.
Thank you for your assistance. If you need additional information, please call the
office or you may reach me at my home, 760/346-1967.
Sincerely,
