Little Canada <br />Fire Department, Inc. <br />February 18, 1997 <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, Little Canada Voulnteer Fire Dept., had an opportunity to sponsor and <br />participate in Fund Raising Raffles for Mr. Ronald A. Fisher, our community resident. <br />Enclosed herewith is a copy of my letter to Ron. As you see in the letter, the Fund Raising event <br />was a great success and entire costs and expenses including numerous prizes were all donated. <br />I would like to request for the Council to waive the required 10 % contribution on the net profit <br />from this onetime and exceptional raffles for the following reasons. <br />1. Fund raising was not conducted in our ordinary course of business, but for the <br />specific purpose of assisting our community resident who was involved in <br />an unfortunate accident. <br />2. As stated earlier, all prizes, costs, and expenses were contributed by numerous <br />friends of Ron and the net profit, therefore, is not a true profit, but a substantial, if <br />not the entire, portion of the nominal profit is an aggregate of donations intended <br />for Ron by his friends. <br />3. Waiving of the required 10% contribution, in my opinion, is a right thing to do and <br />will earn a many goodwill from the City residents and Ron's friends. <br />Sincerely hoping that this special request for the City to waive the required 10% contribution <br />would be granted by the Council, I remain. <br />Very <br />• <br />Ri• ' and E. Boss, III <br />Fire Chief <br />Page 44 <br />
