Little Canada <br />Fire Department, Inc. <br />October 15 °1, 2003 <br />Members of the City Council <br />City of Little Canada <br />Little Canada, Mn. 55117 <br />Dear Council Members: <br />325 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minnesota 55117 (612) 484 -2722 <br />Our organization, the Little Canada Volunteer Fire Dept., had an opportunity to sponsor <br />and participate in Fund Raising Raffles for Joe Sacco, a member of the St. John's <br />community and brother to Jocie Duray, co -owner of the Hoggsbreath Restaurant. <br />The fundraiser was a great success and the entire costs and expenses including numerous <br />prizes were all donated. <br />I would like to request for the Council to waive the required 10% contribution on the net <br />profit from this fundraiser for the following reasons: <br />1. Fundraising was not conducted in our ordinary course of business, but for the <br />specific purpose of assisting Joe, who was involved in an unfortunate <br />accident. <br />2. As stated earlier, all prizes, costs, and expenses were contributed by numerous <br />friends of Joe and the net profit therefore, is not a true profit, but a substantial, <br />if not the entire portion of the profit is an aggregate of donations intended for <br />Joe by his friends. <br />3. Waiving of the required 10% contribution, in my opinion, is the right thing to <br />do and will earn much goodwill from the City residents and the friends and <br />family of Joe Sacco. <br />Sincerely hoping that the Council would grant this request for the City to waive the <br />required 10 %. <br />Very truly yours, <br />James Morelan <br />0 <br />
