Dear Mayor Bush,
As you know, National Missing Children's Day is just around the corner. We are
once again requesting a Proclamation from the beautiful city of Winter Springs to be read
by you at our program on May 25th. Enclosed is a copy oflast year's Proclamation.
We also need to get with you to go over a few things for National Missing
Children's Day, as it will be held at the First Baptist Church of Winter Springs. We need
to find out about someone to run the sound system and the lights for the program. Does
the church have candleholders we can use for the candle lighting service? Will someone
be there to open and close the church for us? Please get back to us as soon as possible.
And thank you so very much for allowing us to hold our program at your church.
Sincerely,
~JI~
