Members of the Friends Board who were mailed packets of information
pertaining to contacting foundations were requested by Ross to write letters and
request a donation of $35,000.00 but that any amount or a "matching grant"
would be appreciated. The following items can be included in the letter: we
made $200,000.00 which included $50,000.00 that was donated by the County
on the Park Lovers' Ball, Johnson Park needs significant improvements; don't
mention the purchase of the Southwest YMCA or having ParkFest.
b. Park Lover's Ball.
Kim and Reid Wilson will be chairpersons of the 1997 Park Lover's Ball.
