Dear Judge Tinley,
/ am the Director for a non profit organization, (501 C3) here in
the Hill Country. Our purpose or mission is to help keep the
Guadalupe River clean. Yes, it is just that situp/e, no politics.
We are just volunteers dedicated to work at the river to help
keep it beautiful. Our volunteers need equipment, water to
drink and money to pay dump fees. The more money we raise
the more we can do. For the past 4 years, we have had an
Annual Fundraiser (The Guadalupe River Parade.) We haven't
raised much money but we have brought a lot of awareness to
the river and had several local businesses involved. It has
been a great deal of fun for all of usl This year we have joined
forces with the Reno/ution Radio Station and are bringing in a
name band, and plan to have a dance following the parade as
welt as a Silent Auction. We ar+e welt known for all the prizes
we give away each year fi+vm our local merchants. This will be
the biggest event we have had so far. Let me get to the point,
we need your help! May we have our parade this year at Flat
Rock Park on August 18"', 20D7? We have grown, as this is our
5"' year and we are concerned about all the traKrc on the
highway and there are not enough places for parking. Part of
our event will include food vendors, moonwalks for the kids,
and the Anny's rock climbing waN, krcal business booths, M^e
entertainment and a live -emote broadcast Oh yes, and as
many floats as we can puf in fire water.
Please look at our web sight at www.clearriveradvocates.ora
There are pictures from last year's parade and some clean-ups
we did.
Sincerely,
Marvin ~Ilfs/Director
P.S. Clear River Advocates would like to formally invite you to
be our, `Master Of Ceremonies' at the Guadalupe River Parade
--. this year!
