Honorable Gary Taylor, Councilmember
Honorable Joe Vasquez, Councilmember
As the year 2002 is now filled with hope for peace, the Rosemead Chamber now focuses
with pride on our 75th Anniversary. Yes, it's hard to believe, the Chamber was founded
in 1927 and has been a driving force in the growth and success of the business community
and the City of Rosemead for seventy-five years. We have chosen the date of Saturday,
September 28, 2002, for the Rosemead Chamber's 75th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee
celebration.
To accomplish our goal of holding a successful community-wide celebration with a car
show, a Taste of Rosemead, 20 booths, etc., we'would like to choose as our site "the heart
1 of Rosemead".which.will include,the closing of Valley Boulevard between Ivar and
Muscatel. This encompasses City Hall, the Library, the CcTM;mikv-Jty Center and the
Chamber office. The Jubilee would run from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m." ",w -
We value the working relationship between the City and the Chamber and we realize we
are asking for closure of one block of a major thoroughfare. However, many other cities
hold weekly,'monthly or annual street faires and festivals and we hope you realize how
important this event may be in not only bringing much deserved recognition to the
wonderful City of Rosemead, but also promoting businesses.
To proceed with the planning of this major event in a timely manner, it is imperative that
we have your approval so we can move forward in contacting Rosemead businesses,
residents, civic clubs and organizations, schools and anyone that will be involved.
Sincerely,
JOAN HUNTER
Diamond Jubilee Chairperson
