Hello Chris,
Delighted to get your response. Your
thoughts and direction is "right on" which we definitely look forward
to work together and I will keep you informed and involved as much as you
like in our up coming tournaments. We will set up a meeting as you
mentioned, I have your phone number to schedule a time possibly in early
2009. Sincerely, JR

Mr. Smith,
Thank you so much for the letter
and the information. We already have our calendars marked for May 14 and 15,
2010.
We are small in numbers, but will help in any way we can. Thinking out loud,
I came up with the following:
- we have special rates with a few
of the local hotels that may help your participants out.
- we have a caterer who works with
us very closely that should be able to help us out.
- our Home will be happy to
sponsor one of the days refreshments.
- the use of our conference center
in the basement of the York Rite Chapel is completely remodeled, handicap
accessible and would be free of charge.
- I'm sure some folks locally
would be willing to help out in some way as the event approaches.
- I believe something involving
our children would be wonderful and received extremely well by our children.
I can see something very special coming from this.
If I could, I'd like to meet with
you and those in your organization as you prepare for this year's tournament,
to observe some of the things we could assist with. As a non-profit, I'm not
sure exactly what we could do, but by meeting with you and your organizers
(maybe in February, March or April of 2009) it would give us a good idea of
how we could help.
I look forward to hearing from you
and again, thank you for this opportunity. We hope this will be something
positive for your group and beneficial to all involved.
Sincerely,
Chris

Hello Chris, I got this email letter ready to send to you some time ago
and I'm not sure if I sent it or not... I was thinking maybe it would be
more appropriate to mail it. I included some links in this letter and
the only way they work is viewing it from a computer. I did try to send
an email with this letter attached but it was rejected.
