As we all know, Congressman Claude Pepper has been one of those outstanding
leaders, whose constant struggle and self-determination throughout his long poli-
tical career, have achieved a better way of life for the needy and the elderly;
his leadership has made a major contribution to our society. We, as his friends
and constituents, feel it is only fair that such a man should be recognized,
although aware that such recognition will never equal his invaluable dedication.
An idea was developed to erect a monument to our Congressman, which has
been accepted, and we are happy to announce that it will be situated at Jose
Marti's Park, as per his request, on Fourth Avenue and Fifth Street, South West.
This none foot tall monument will include two bronze plaques, on which 400 names
will be engraved. We were lucky to have found a great sculptor like Tony Lopez
to undertake this part. of the project. The cost of the monument will be $30,000.,
plus $5,000. for engraving the names, $3,000. for the plaques, and $2,000. for
the landscaping, making a total of $40,000. Those who wish to contribute may
do so by donating the amount of ONE HUNDRED Dollars ($100.), and the name of
the contributor will be engraved on one of the plaques.
Attached please find a form, to be completed and returned in the enclosed,
self-addressed envelope, together with your contribution. We have approximately
160 donations or reserved name space, and CNLY 400 NAMES WU L BE AOCEP7'ID. If
you have any questions concerning this project, please do not hesitate to call
any of the following telephone numbers: 854-6291 (Lazaro Albo), 448-0897 (Grace
Prieto), and we will be more than happy to provide you with any information you
need.
We look forward to hearing from you very soon.
