Dear Esther,
The Second Annual Jamaica Awareness Festival will be held on
Sunday, August 3, 1986 in Bicentennial Park. This Festival is
being planned by the Jamaica Awareness Festival Committee in
association with The Jamaica Association of Florida, both
non-profit organizations.
The purpose of this Festival is to bring together the
,a
thousands of Jamaicans living in South Florida, to mark the
island's 24th independence anniversary. It also naturally
appeals to the multi -ethnic composition of the South Florida
-s
k
population, which also includes other Caribbean nationals,
Cubans, Black and Anglo-Americans. The City of Miami Police
Department estimated that a total of over 10,000 attended the
first festival and such tremendous success encouraged us to make
this an annual event. This festival will be free to the public
and part proceeds from any profit will be donated to -a -charitable
organization.
We are,
therefore,
asking that you assist us in
securing
Bicentennial
Park from
the City of Miami Parks and
Recreation
Department and
that the
Mayor and City Commission waive
the fees
for in -kind
services,
e.g. Police, Sanitation,
Insurance,
Electrician
and the Showmobile.
We look forward to hearing from you in the near future to
the mutual benefit of all.
'With best regards.
Sincerely, FDNEYyel,
CARSON "EDDY" EDWARDS, ROBERTS,.
