Subject: Request for Use of City Outdoor Lights for the Rotary Club of Moorpark
Annual Civil War Reenactment Event
Dear Mr. Laurentowski:
Each year for the last twelve years, the Rotary Club of Moorpark has held its annual Civil
War Reenactment at the Tierra Rejada Ranch in the Moorpark area. We have been
fortunate that each year the event has grown in size and importance to the point that it
has become the largest reenactment event in California. This year our event will be held
on November ath and 9th in the City of Moorpark on the Waste Management property east
of Moorpark College. As in previous years, the evening battles are the highlight of the
two day event; the use of the City lights has made this possible.
The Rotary Club of Moorpark has been in this community for over 50 years and has
always been an active participant in youth activities, community activities, and local
charitable organizations. All of the funds after paying expenses go to the continued
support of the community. We have greatly appreciated the City's support in the past for
the Clubs biggest fundraising event of the year. Please join us in its continued success
for the benefit of the youth and community activities and the support of local charitable
organizations.
Thank you for your past support and for your consideration of support for this year's
event.
