Dear Mayor Suarez,
I` 11�• t � _ ..
You have long been a strong supporter of "Miami Nice." As you
will see from the attached letter which I have sent to Commis-
sioner Winn on behalf of St. Thomas University and The Service
Institute, socn Miami is going to be able to boast that ours is
the first cite in the country to have put all 4000 taxi drivers
through a courtesy course.
In my letter to Commissioner Winn I am following up on a commit-
ment ;Wade by the Convention Bureau to contribute to the promo-
tional program for "Miami Nice."
I see a great opportunity this July on the 2nd anniversary, of
Miami Nice - when all 4000 drivers will have been through the
program - to boost. not only the drivers' image but boost Miami
on a national level.:
we would like to plan a dinner/dance for all the drivers and
heir winves at a major Miami hotel to salute these "Miami Nice"
graduates, most of whom are hard working family men and women.
Since there will surely be national press for such an event and
since the City of Miami will benefit greatly from this project I
am requesting a grant of $10,000 from the City of Miami to help
defray those costs. "Miami Nice" training is funded by Lade
County, but "graduation" events such as this are funded over and
above that.
would be happy to discuss this with you, or your designee, and
perform any practical steps related to this request.
