Miami, Florida
Dear Mr. Ruder:
57
This letter is to request that we appear in person in
front of the City of Miami Commissioners on April 10,
1986. As I understand, we are in the agenda for that
date, requesting a permit to sell beer and merchandise
(T-shirts, art and craft made by our participants,sou-
venirs, food, etc.) at the FESTIVAL 20 DE MAYO which
will take place on May 17-18 at the Jose Marti Park.
This will be the second annual Festival, in which we
819 S.W.12ch Avenue commemorate the Older American Month and the Cuban In-
Mism. Florida 33130 dependence Day. The festival is done to raise the needed
(305)858-2610 funds to continue operating our eleven centers through-
out Dade County. With the cuts in the state and local
budgets, these funds are extremelly needed. Also, and
very important, this festival serves to.unite the commu-
RafaelviAaverde nit the elder. and the young generation.'

BwrdofDkeaon Last year, as your files will attest, the festival was
Rourio A. Kennedy co -sponsored by the City of Miami. It was the first fes-
ChairPenon tival celebrated at the Jose Marti Park, and right after-
wifn:do(Willy)oorr wards, we made a formal request to Mr. Carl Kern to re-
"L,,,,edo peat this festival this year and every year on. We were
under the impression that everything was approved, and
Manuel Dias the City of Miami would continue to co-sponsor this Fes -
Manuel M. Medina tival. But apparently, with the change of personnel, we
W.E. Gontil z, Jr. now have to start from square one.
RaQMardne:
On that day, we will ask the City of Miami to continue
Dawid>~ncher
being our co-sponsors so that we may raise the necessa-
Anwnio Pups
ry funds for our centers. We will request the permits
Atbemcirdenas
to sell beer and merchandise; and that all fees be waived
for the police, fire, rescue departments, solid waste
CarlmBenim
and park personnel needed, just as they were last year.

The Festival 20 de Mayo was a very successful festival
that got all the community involved. It was a family

Execwtivevicerresident
festival, in which for the very first time the City of
Miami and the City of Hialeah played a softball game
against each other (the Mayors and Commissioners). We
had a beautiful artistic and musical show with reknown
singers, fun games for the entire family, orchestras to
dance, sports competitions, delicious food, refreshments,
beer and much entertainment. It was a true community
festival that did a lot of good to the park, and genera-
ted a lot of positive publicity to Miami. We did not

have one single incident in the two day event.

We expect the same results this year. As Commissioner
Miller Dawkins stated after last year's Festival 20
de Mayo. " it is activities such as this that draw
the citizens and elected officials together, where
we all can plan for a Happy Miami".

Dear Ms. Carbonell:
I regret not being in attendance at the softball game.
I doubt, seriously, if my playing would have had a
positive effect as to the "scores."
The City must get it's "Act" together! The County
defeated us in football, an now, Hialeah has managed
to do the same in softball. We may have to go to
"Domino Park" to get someone to win one for the City.
It is activities such as this that draw the citizens
an a ectecl officals together,_ where we—al1 can plan
for happy 4qR:i. You have my support as a CommUssioner
and even after.
Sincerely,
a U b �b
