This is the 15th Annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival. I am aware that this might seem to you to be asking for approval way in advance but our timing schedule from experience, makes it necessary to print the invitations to participants in July, addressed in August and mailed in September. The request this year is more or less identical with what was approved last year. ,Sincerely, )e ti / Glenn Wiggins Pkesidont GW:mr rrtti- --4"-- ''.--,,z-.4.r% rF r �VT,1 ` .1 r%? t 4 { r. o.n.
