Dear Director of Public Works,
RECEIVED
2012 SEP I 0 P 3: 35
PUBLIC WORKS DEPT.
On behalf of the National City College Campus Lions I am requesting use of the Martin
Luther King building for distribution of toys and food to needy families of National City.
This is an annual event called "Spirit of the Holidays". Distribution this year is
scheduled for December 22, 2012.
The "Spirit of the Holidays" program is supported by the National School District, the
National City Fire Department, the American Legion, National City Host Lions Club and
many other community businesses. The National City College Campus Lions Club
coordinates all the efforts of these organizations to help make the holiday season a little
brighter for our most needy families.
This year we anticipate serving approximately 150 families. This would mean that about
450 people will be going through the MLK on distribution day. However, not all the
participants are present together. The event is held from 9am to 1 pm. Families wait in
line and a few families at a time are taken into the building. Children are taken into the
north part of the building and allowed to select their toy, parents are taken to the south
part of the building to pick up their holiday dinner.
As this is an event exclusively for National City residents and is a give away program,
we are requesting waiver of all fees. Waiver of all fees will allow us to use all resources
to help these deserving families.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Sandy Dominguez
President
National City College Campus Lions
