Dear Sir or Madam:
The CT 612 Vietnam Veterans Memorial Picnic will take place on Saturday April 5th, 2008 (rain date April 6th). At the present time there is not a memorial for the 612 servicemen who were killed in Vietnam from Connecticut. I am hoping to change that with your help. The town of Coventry has donated some land at a place they call Patriot Park for the memorial. I am involved in what I hope to be the biggest fundraiser to assist in putting the project over the top. I have secured Devitt’s Field in Deep River, CT for the day. I have also secured the 612 Biography posters that were done by the Cheshire High School Students. They will be on display in secured tents. Enclosed is a flyer of the event, please post it in your office. The picnic will include a motorcycle event called the blessing of the bikes. This event will also include live music, raffles, good food and hopefully a large group of support. We are looking for small or large items to be used in our Raffle booth along with food or paper related items. Monetary donations will be used to defray the cost of the fundraiser, or will be put directly into an account to be presented to the Ct Vietnam Veterans Memorial. All donations are welcome. Should you or your Company like to become a “ Corporate Sponsor”, please send a donation of $200.00 by March 16,2008 for your name to be added to the t-shirt. Names will also go into a Memorial Sponsor Book or Plaque. We would like you to attend the day of the event if possible as a volunteer or to just hang out. I also ask all sponsors to bring a banner to be displayed that would say “Your Company Name” supports the CT 612 Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or something to that effect (optional of course). Thank you in advance for your support and any donation you are able to make. It is greatly appreciated. Please call if you would like us to pick-up an item for the raffle along with your business card or remit any donation to:
CT 612 Vietnam Veterans Memorial Picnic C/O Joe DiPietro 43 Acorn Rd Deep River, CT. 06417-1526.
Sincerely, Joe DiPietro 860-983-5021 or Res. 526-1948 www.ct612memorial.org
