S. We would need an on duty* Fire Rescue Unit to be at Peacock Park
for approximately I-142 hours in the A.M. and 1.1t2 hours in the P.M.
In addition, we would appreciate it if you would appoint a City of Miami person to head up
the City of Miami Walk Team. for 1996. We have always enjoy working with Liz Babun in
the past and understand that she has moved on to another area with the police department
and that you will probably need to appoint another person to fill this task. We would
appreciate having the name a phone number of your new Team Captain as soon as possible
so that we can help them get the City of Miami team going strong for '96.
The March of Dunes receives no government or United Way funding. We receive funds
from individuals in fund raising events such as WalkAmerica. Sixty percent of all funds
raised stay in the community. As a national organization, we reap the benefits of national
research, advocacy, and education programs that directly impact all of us.
The Mar,Gh of Dimex mimion Is tv iIIlpruvo dhG l oahll of babies by preventing birth defects
and infant mortality. The March of Dimes carries out its mission through the Campaign for
Healthier Babies, which funds programs of roscarch, community service and advocacy.
Remp,mber, we are counting on you for March 30, 1996 to Walk for someone you love!
