Attn: Mr. Steve Kueny, City Manager
Dear Mr. Kueny:
On behalf of the Simi Valley/Moorpark Unit of the American Cancer Society and the
Relay For Life Planning Committee I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the City
of Moorpark for all help and support given past relays and to ask for assistance with
this year's event. Relay for Life 2005 will take place April 30 and May 1, and once
again, it will be our privilege to hold it in the Moorpark College stadium, a venue
without equal in the Tri- County region.
Last year, our sponsors, teams and volunteers collectively raised $229,000, an amount
significant enough to include Moorpark in the American Cancer Society's list of top
per capita giving communities in the country. More than 1,500 people spent all or part
of the day at our event, surely making Relay For Life Moorpark's largest and most
inclusive annual community event/fundraiser. As a committee we are committed to
making all of this year's numbers even better.
We are requesting loan of 2 of the city's new, portable light standards. We would pick
them up on Friday, April 29 and return them as soon as possible after we close May 1.
If you need us to keep them until Monday, we will store them in a secured site on the
college campus.
While in our care, they would be the responsibility of Debbie Heaslip, the college's
Events Coordinator and our Co- Chair. The American Cancer Society carries insurance,
and can provide proof of coverage should you require it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. A timely decision from your office would
be greatly appreciated. If you require more information or assistance, please don't
hesitate to call me at 805 -501 -7028 or Debbie Heaslip at 805- 368 -9980. You can also
contact the American Cancer Society directly at 805 -527 -5360, option 3.
Sincerelv.
