Dear Honorable Mayor ,and Members:
This lencr is being sent Io you by a 'group of parents from Tustin High School who have volunteered to
organize an all night cclebration for thc graduating seniors this year. This tradition was started ox,er a
decadc ago as an answer to the growing number of alcohol and drug related accidents and deaths lhat occur
as a result of unsupervised gradualion celebrations. Th~s night has become a way for the entire community
to focus on a project conceived to save thc lives of our graduating seniors.
To that end, here is some i~fformation about the night. The theme this year is "Escape to Fantasy Island".
We will be decorating the grounds of the school in a tropical island-like atmosphere, consisting of an
exploding volcano, luscious waterfalls, constructed facades of surf, sand and sea and inystery island guests!
These graduating seniors will be treated to entertainment such as a casino night, a massive rock-clhnbing
wall, great D.J. tunes, as well as karaoke videos and photo "ops" ~4th one of our mystery island guest.
Food will be sen'ed throughout the night, which inclndes a breakfast before they leave. Sound fun? You
bel it does and we want all 400 seniors to come. The majority of our budget is generated from the sale of
tickels, but in order to maintain an affordable admission price, we need donations from our communit?,-,
which can consist of assistance with the food, cash donations, gifts or gift certificates to be given away
'throughout ttte night. The City of Council of Tustin will be listed on the donor wall on display inside rite
celebration.
Post-Grads themselves have expressed how great the experience truly was for lhem and how their last
memories on campus was an unbelievable one. This grad night benefits our communi~' immensely main.b.'
because we keep our seniors safe and off of thc streets. We sincerely appreciate 3:our interest in the event.
Thank you for yonr time and consideration. Please do not hesitate to call with questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Alan Arch Patty Baker Beverly Burro Linda Hay Debbic Kapson Roger Kenney Yoshie McKenzie
