Dear Pat;
It was delightful visiting with you on the phone and I appreciate your
assistance with the application process of reserving the Palm Desert
Civic Center Park for the 1st Annual Arthritis Foundation 5K Walk.
We would like to reserve the Palm Desert Civic Center Park for the date
of Saturday, May 4, 2002 for this 5K event. This will be a fund raiser
for the Arthritis Foundation, that will allow us to raise critical funds to
support the over 100 programs per week that we provide in Palm Desert
and the surrounding communities, (most of them free of charge). These
programs help over 110,000 people in the Coachella Valley who suffer
with one of the more than 100 types of arthritis. This annual Arthritis
Walk Event will also serve as an educational awareness campaign
during May, which is National Arthritis Month.
As a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization, we are requesting that all fees be
waived for this event.
Please call me directly at 773-3076 if you should have any questions or
require any additional information. We look forward to working with
you on this event. Thank you so much for your assistance and support
of the Arthritis Foundation.
Warmest re!ards,
