A Child's Place Learning Center February 8, 2007 Dear Commissioners, 2015 Singing Wind Drive Kerrville, TX 78028 830/792-3770 Our organ'IZation is a non-profit childcare and early teaming center servicing famil'~es of Kerville and the surrounding areas. Our programs inGude care for children from birth through age 12 and activities that stimulate all areas of children's teaming. We have a specialized kinder-readiness program for children age 4 and 5 who are preparing to enter kindergarten in the upcoming school year. Each year we host a graduation or promotion ceremony for these children as they finish their school year. In the past we have hosted this at our center and the Kerr County Extension Office.. Our program has outgrown the space that we have to accommodate this ceremony. We have booked the exhibit hall at the Hill Country Youth Exhibition Center for Wednesday, May 23id, 2007 in order to have a space large enough to accommodate this very special program. ~~° We are respectfully requesting to have the cyst of the use of the hall waived for this event as it is not in our budget to pay hall rent and we would like for this ceremony to continue to be a success. We would need only the exhibit hall on Wednesday, the 23`d of May, 2007 along with 100 chairs, 6 tables, and a small stage for our commencement and program that the children have prepared for their families. We will be able to provide "additionally insured" liability/ coverage to you provided by our insurance carrier. Thank you for considering this request This will allow us to share with families the importance of what our children are teaming. Sincerely, .~ulie Smith ,Executive Director
