I am sure that you can agree with me when I say that an event of this site
and nature requires adequate funding in order to be the success it can and
should be. And, in view of the fact that the City of Miami is a co-sponsor
of the conference, it is for this reason that I am herein requesting to
appear before the City of Miami Commission to petition for support of the
conference. Your timely consideration and response to this request is
appreciated. If you should need additional information regarding conference
details, please contact me at 375-4880.
I would also like to take the opportunity to invite you and the City
Commission to attend the conference and participate in any of the planned
social activities.
