RE: "Grad Nite 1994"-- Tustin High School
Requested Contribution: $2750; (1993 Contribution: $2500)
Dear City Council,
We wish to renew our appreciation for your 1993 contribution to
"Grad Nite" at Tustin High. By your generosity we were able to
provide a safe, alcohol-free environment that attracted our
students, and kept them off of the very dangerous highways and
out of harm's way for this joyous and important evening in their
lives.
For 1994, our-all volunteer committee has planned something very
special. Already, hundrerds of valuable hours have been donated
by our dedicated parents and friends. As you know, Grad Nite
completely transforms the school facility into a place of
fantasy, wonder and great memories. We invite you this year to
preview the facility yourselves, and will be issuing a special
invitation just before the event.
Unfortunately, donated hours and good will do not provide the
conplete answer for success. For that reason, we are asking you
to renew your contribution for Grad Nite by allocating $2750 for
the event at Tustin High. While we have kept costs down, the
recycling of props, decoration and supplies just will not cover
our needs. We have discovered some small increases in costs, and
are earnestly hoping that a small increase in your contribution
will help us to cover them.
We recognize the great number of requests you must face, and wish
to reiterate that Grad Nite has proven to be very worthwhile.
Once again, we thank you for your support in the pas_t, and look
forward to producing a great event for 1994.
Sincerely,
November 15, 1993
