SAN BERNARDINO CITY WIDE UNITY COMMITTEE 1865 CLYDE STREET SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA May 3.1986 Mayor Evlyn Wilcox Members of Common Council Ci ty Hall San Bernardino, California Feeling the need to promote harmony within the city of San Bernardino, providing our youth with an opportunity to display their talents in a wholesome setting, developing awareness on the part of the citizens of our city of the need to stand together in support of law enforcement officers and city officials, we are organizing a City-Wide Unity Concert. We seek your support and the assistance of the Parks and Recreation Department for this concert. It is our hope that as a result of this Concert there will be a commitment on the part of youth and adult members of our community to care for private property, stem the tide of drug traffic and a renewed appreciation of the benefits of our area as a place to raise families in safety. We therefore ask for permission to use thePerris Hill Bowl on Saturday, June 7th, 1986 from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. We will need the piano, sound equipment and volunteer staff. The plan of the City-Wide Unity Concert is to present a program which will accentuate the wonderful cultural diversity of our area. The program will be non-religious though some of the musical selections will, of necessity, be religious. We hope that you will extend this cooperation to us.
