Dear Mayor Suarez:
The Jimmy Carter Work Project will be held in Liberty City on June
17th through 22rd, 1991. During this week 500 volunteers, led by
Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, will build 14 homes and a day care
center. The site is located on N.W. 62nd Street (Martin Luther
King Boulevard) and 20th Avenue.
We appreciate your support of this important project and invite you
to participate. While most of our volunteers commit to working the
entire week, we understand that your schedule may not allow it.
We encourage you to join us for a single day's work, or to stop by
for a tour of the site. We are happy to accommodate your schedule
whenever you might be available.
To properly coordinate your arrival and ensure access to the site,
please contact me at 448-9999 by June 1st. Again, we appreciate
your support of this exciting work and look forward to hearing from
you. Thank you.
Best regards,
Calvin H. Babcock
