Dear Mrs. Bradstreet:
As a community relations spokesperson for Fieldstone LaCosta, I understand you would
be a resource person to discuss donations which Fieldstone has most generously
provided to Carlsbad Parks and Recreation Programs in the past and may be able to
contribute to in the future.
Currently our department is seeking donations to fund any of a number of youth
recreation programs which we would like to provide to our community youth. However,
we are somewhat limited in our ability to accommodate these programs without the
assistance of sponsorships from benevolent community organizations. Specifically the
programs we are soliciting donations for include:
Youth Golf Clinic, January - February 1993-
Youth Baseball Clinic, February 1993-
Festival of Talent - Spring Dance Recital,
March - April 1993-
$500
$1,000
$1,000
An additional event we very regrettably have had to eliminate this year do to current
budget constraints is the Annual Volunteer Barbecue. This event acknowledges and
salutes the invaluable assistance we receive each year from community volunteers in
helping us provide quality special events and programs. Fieldstone is certainly no
exception as your most generous contributions in the past have played a key role in our
ability to provide. Typically the cost of providing this event is $3,000.
Any assistance that Fieldstone could provide would be greatly appreciated, and as
always, we are deeply appreciative of your organizations' past support. Thank you.
Sincerely/n O\
