RE: REQUEST FROM ROSEMEAD HIGH SCHOOL FOR $3,000 TO FUND

In the past the City of Rosemead has granted Rosemead High School's request for funding. As a

March 24, 2001. They are requesting that the City contribute $3,000 towards the cost of T-shirts
and awards. The City's 2000-01 Budget includes funding for this activity.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Rosemead City Council authorize the expenditure of $3,000 for the
Annual Run\Walk against Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco.

Dear Mayor Clark:
LARRY CALLABAM
Assistant Principal
Instrnction
This letter is written on behalf of Rosemead High School requesting the city's assistance in helping
sponsor the Thirteenth Annual Run/Walk Against Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco. The event
will be held Saturday. March 24 2001 on the track and campus of Rosemead High School.
Targeted students reside in the city of Rosemead ranging in age from kindergarten to twelfth grade. A
T-shirt will be given to each participant. Prizes will be given to the schools having the greatest number
of participants in three categories. Individual ribbons will be awarded in each race.
Rosemead Hi:h School anticipates a crowd in excess of 1,000 for this event. A nominal entrance fee of
$5.00 will be charged each participant. (This will insure a commitment and allow us to determine the
number of runners we must accommodate.) Yearly, the City of Rosemead has graciously helped cover
the cost of the T-shirts and awards, a figure of approximately $3,000.00.
y
It would be greatly appreciated if the City of Rosemead, once again, could help offset the cost of the
T-shirts and awards by donating approximately $3,000.00. Your consideration of this matter will be
appreciated.
Respectfully yours.
Larry C aha~
