Dear Mr. Odio,
On behalf of T he Gold -Diggers, Inc. I am proud to extend our invitation to
you and your family for our musical extravaganza " One Singular Sensation"
to benefit the Miami Children's Hospital, and Leukemia research for the
Leukemia Society Of America, South Fla. Chapter. Our show producers and
-.' authors this year are Gloria Villa Crout, and Joan Walker. Enclosed you will
find more information about dates and times of performances. We would
.': be delighted to have you join us.
I know how busy you are so I will be direct and ask you, Mayor Suarez, and
our city commisioners for the help you can give to keep us going. Here are
the facts:
We are celebrating our Tenth Anniversary this year. Ten years performing
in Downtown Miami at Gusman Cultural Center. We love that beautiful old
theatre and They love us - just ask them. We are the largest annual
production at the Gusman Theater. We bring hundreds of people from all
over the area in by bus to see this show. We began ten years ago with one
performance, no money, and a lot of audacity. This year, by popular demand
we are up to four performances, we have given more than $250,000 to our
charities, and this year will be even better. All proceeds from this show
go to the charity. We raise money to finance our production during the
year by having garage sales, a black tie function, and soliciting
contributions from corporations and businesses in this city. It's hardwork,
a labor of love, and very rewarding. During our Saturday matinee we
Invite the leukemia children, and the Miami Children's Hospital kids to be
our special guests. After the show we treat them to a lobby party with
cake & ice cream, balloons, and our cast in costume. They love it almost
as much as we love doing it.

a family to produce one of the most entertaining, upbeat , thrilling shows
you will ever see in our city. Something everyone in Miami can be proud of.
Just ask J.L. Plummer, He has attended our performances.
We are also very proud to tell you that last October, The Gold-Diggers,lnc,
went to Washington D.C. to receive a national award from the Leukemia
Society of America. We were in good company- the other recipients were
N.B.C. Nightly News, Newsweek Magazene. and 3M Company. Not bad for
sixty determined women from Miami.
contributions anyone could give us.

It would be a special way to
help us celebrate our tenth anniversary and opening night of "One Singular
Sensation". (The publicity wouldn't hurt either). We are all anxiously
waiting for your response.
Thanks again for everything you have done to help us in the past.
