Dear Commissioner Winton,
We are seeking your assistance in obtaining approval to hang light pole banners
on City of Miami roadways promoting the Miami Museum of Science's
exhibitions for the remainder of 2001. We understand that the City Manager will
only approve applications to hang banners after the Commission approves the
organization's request. Thus, we are requesting your help.
For more than 50 years, the Miami Museum of Science has been attracting South
Florida residents and tourists to its facility. Tremendous demand for the
Museum's programs and services has pushed attendance to 300,000 annually,
with 100,000 students served through school outreach and millions more through
the Museum's internationally broadcast television programs and award-winning
Web site.
Much of the Museum's success is based on a mutually beneficial partnership
with government and we are seeking your permission to hang light pole banners
within the City of Miami. This will enable us to reach City of Miami residents as
well as the tourists who travel within our city. Hanging light pole banners is one
of the key elements of our advertising and public relations plan promoting our
exhibitions. These are the most visible of all the vehicles used to promote our
exhibitions.
As a result of our partnership, we will recognize the City of Miami by placing the
City's logo on all banners. I've attached an original print out of each of the light
pole banners so you can see exactly what exhibitions we will be promoting.
