Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Last November 17 -18, 2001, the Moorpark Rotary Club presented Gettysburg, A Civil War Battle and En-
campment. This historical event was attended by close to four thousand people.
With over 450 reenactors, 50 horses, 15 cannons and pyrotechnic ground charges, this first time event was
educational, as well as spectacular to view. The event included Mr. Lincoln repeating his famous Gettysburg
Address, General Lee's surrender to General Grant, and so much more.
This family themed event allowed the Rotary Club to donate over $25,000 that was dispersed to over twenty
community organizations and Moorpark High School graduating seniors scholarships.
This major fund- raiser will again be presented on November 2 -3, 2002, and the plan is to make this an annual
event.
As you are aware, without dedicated people and sponsors this event would not be possible. Respectfully, the
Moorpark Rotary Club requests you consider joining our other sponsors to help expand this year's event.
The City's participation could include, park reader boards, an ad in the City's quarterly magazine, posters at City
facilities, mentioning the event at City Council meetings, as well as financial support.
Sincerely,
Dale Parvin
Event Coordinator
Fund - raising Chairman
