RE: REQUEST FROM ROSEMEAD HIGH SCHOOL FOR PURCHASE OF T-SHIRTS
USED DURING FIFTH ANNUAL RUN/WALK AGAINST DRUGS
Attached is a letter from Rosemead High School requesting $5,000 for
the purchase of T-shirts to be used during the school's "Fifth Annual
Run/Walk Against Drugs." The City Council has supported this program
in the past and authorized funding for the T-shirts. Last year,
however, the Council contributed $3,000 toward the program, and a
similar amount has been budgeted for this fiscal year. Therefore,
staff recommends that the City Council authorize $3,000 for the
purchase of T-shirts for this year's event.

Dear Mayor Clark:
This letter is written on behalf of Rosemead High School requesting the cooperation of the city of
Rosemead in sponsoring the Fifth Annual Run/Walk Against Drugs, Alcohol and Tobacco to be
held on January 23, 1993.
The program will involve an outstanding inspirational speaker and awards presenter for the 1,
2 and 5 kilometer run/walk. The target groups are students in the Rosemead schools ranging
from kindergarten to twelveth grade. It will take place on the campus 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 1,200 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 approximately $5,000.00 for 1,200
T-shirts. We ran out due to the tremendous participation of the schools in our community. This
year, to take care of the number of participants, we will need to order 1,500 shirts.
We are requesting from the City of Rosemead $5,000.00 this year so we will have enough
T-shirts for all participants. Your consideration of this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Respectfull y urs,
Dan Morris
Assistant Principal for Instruction
