Dear lvls. Lewis:
The Stec of Florida Safety and Career Day Committee is planning its Fourth Annual State of
Florida Safety and Career Day. This event is the result of individuals contemplating the future of
the youth ofthe community. The Committee is composed of government and private agency
representatives. They volunteer their time and efforts to provide the youth with career path options
and safety information, which we believe, will have a positive impact on the community.
This yaw's event will take place on May 10, 2002, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the State of
Florida Regional Service Center located at 401 NW 2°d Avenue, in Miami. Several State, County,
and City officials have been invited to attend and participate in this event. In coordination with
Miami -Dade County Public Schools, approximately 2,100 middle and senior high school students
will be armed with information to make more informed safety and career path decisions. The event
is kicked off with a parade through downtown Miami culminating at the Regional Service Center
where a variety of activities and presenters are available for the students to interact with.
The continued success of this event is a direct result of the support and participation of our many
sponsors. Many of them provide large equipment and vehicles for display. The students may enter
and tour the vehicles.
We have no independent source of funding, and, therefore, we deperd on voluntary contributions.
For the past three years the use of the parking lot located on the corner of NW 6"' Street and 2°d
Avenue has been donated for this day. We use it to land the helicopters that are brought in for the
students to tour. Cunently, Victour bus line occupies this lot. We arc requesting your assistance in
having Victour move their buses for just this one day, so that we may continue to provide the
helicopter display for the students. Your support in this matter would be very appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. You may contact me at (305) 377-5299 should
you have any questions or concerns.
