Subject: Modernism Week 2015
Ladies,
As a reminder, I worked with you in planning our Marrakesh Designer Showcase 2013, a Modernism Week
2013 event that brought over 3,000 people to Palm Desert. With parking for our event staged at The Gardens
on El Paseo, many of our guests visited local stores and restaurants as a result. The impact on our community
was great, resulting in many home sales at Marrakesh which means bringing business to PD.
We will once again have a presence in Modernism Week with an event February 19, 2015. The event will be an
evening event, "Ifs a Mod Mod Mod Mod Marrakesh" that will be a retro evening of cocktails, dining, music and
non-stop dancing and fun. We would love to get our event on the City's calendar for 2015.
I understand there will be discussion today at the PD City Council meeting about the request of Modernism
Week for a $5,000 grant from the City's Marketing Committee to help expand their programs in PD, including
Marrakesh, Sandpiper and an architectural bus tour they are developing. I am currently in Canada and unable to
attend the meeting but wanted to voice Marrakesh's unwavering support with our commitment to and
involvement with MW and completely support their commitment to include PD in this yearly event.
If you will be attending the meeting, I would appreciate your expressing our support of this fine organization.
Thank you.
Gena Corbett
