RAUTENKRANZ, City Cleik (SEAL) Exhibit 2 November 19,1997 Gerry Sova Martin Kouma Jeff King Gericos Bar & Grill 850 Tamarack Ave Carlsbad CA 92008 Dear Gerry, Jeff & Martin: The golfers are in, the ticket tally has been counted, and once again it’s been a red letter year for the fundraisers you so selflessly orchestrate annually for the Senior Center. This year the Golf Tournament and the Dinner Ticket Sales generated $3,268. Your support over the years has assisted the Senior Center with purchasing the mini bus, two pianos, Billiards equipment, and has supported many programs which had no other means of funding. Your efforts exemplify the meaning of the phrase “community support.” We are truly grateful that over 10 years ago you chose the Senior Center to benefit from your generosity and commitment to this community. Kind Regards Susan Schultz Spickard Senior Center Coordinator
