    We kindly request that you include the information found on the attached document in your organization’s newsletter and on your website to help promote the many events being planned for this celebration. Your partnership will help bring about a "win/win" for the entire community. We will continue to keep you informed of future meetings and send you more information when it becomes available.

Kindest regards,

Marlene Fricker and Marlene Stocks
