RAUTENKRANZ, City Clef@ (SEAL) I 28 I EXHIBI' January 18, 1995 Carlsbad Senior Citizens' Association 799 Pine Avenue Carlsbad CA 92008 Dear Friends: I want to thank you for your generous donation to cover the costs of enclosing the reception area in the Senior Center. As each of you has witnessed, the hallway can get very cold and the abilit> to hear on the phones located at the reception desk is virtually impossible a certain times of the day. Our only solution to this and other challenges created by the open reception area was to enclose the area. However, unti now, we did not have the finances to "do the job." Thank you for your thoughtfulness, concern for the volunteers and staff wh work in the that area and mostly for your generosity in making the enclosinl of the area possible. As we discussed, it is estimated that the remodel will cost around $1 0,000 not to exceed $1 5,000. We will reimburse to the Association any unspent funds. In the past several years, the Association has again taken a very active role in contributing to the success of the Carlsbad Senior Center in many ways. We are most appreciative off your generosity and hard work in making the Carlsbad Senior Center a place of enjoyment and pleasure for the many Seniors who participate.

We have been in the Center five years and the chairs on the patio have been outside every day, rain or shine, since that time. The California sun has taken its toll.
