Dear Mayor McDonald:
1990
• `'`~r4a5~6
This letter is written on behalf of Rosemead High School requesting the
cooperation of the City of Rosemead in sponsoring the Third Annual Run/Walk
Against Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco to be held on January 19, 1991.
The program will involve an outstanding decathlon competitor as an inspirational
speaker and to present awards in the 1, 2 and 5 kilometer run/walk. The target
group is students in the Rosemead schools ranging from kindergarten to twelveth
grade. It will take place on the campus and track of Rosemead High School. We
once again plan to award a T-shirt to all participants and prizes for the school
having the greatest number of participants as well as individual prizes in
each level.
Rosemead High School anticipates a crowd in excess of 600 for this event. We
are charging a nominal entrance fee of $1.00 per runner. (This will help
insure a commitment and allow us to determine the number of runners we must
accommodate.) As you may recall, last year, the City of Rosemead covered the
cost of the T-shirts, a figure of around $3,000.00. We are requesting the
same assistance this year. Your consideration of this matter will be greatly
appreciated.
Respectfully yours,
P. J. Rupert
Assistant Principal
for Instruction
