On
behalf of The Veteran’s Committee representing Middletown/

as well as everything else has increased in cost we are hoping
that you will give as in the past or a little bit more if possible.
Please advise at your earliest convenience as to your donation.
During these uncertain and unstable times of war, we would like
to pay tribute to our deceased veterans, as well as paying tribute
to those now serving. Let us make this an extra special year!

From: Town of Wallkill Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Jay Mader
The Town of Wallkill Volunteer Ambulance Corps is celebrating
our 30th Anniversay this year. We are hoping to raise funds to
help sponsor some fun activities during the celebrations we are
planning this summer.
We
want to hold a coin drop on North Galleria Drive, near the
stop light, on April 12, 2003. The Ambulance would be parked
in that far corner of Sam’s Club parking lot. Our volunteers
would be placed along the grassy median. Many signs would be
placed well before the cars reached us so as not to cause a panic
when cars slow up to donate.
April 10, 2003
The
Corps is in hopes that you will consider this a worthwhile
endeavor for us to undertake. If you have any concerns please
don’t hesitate to contact me.
Councilman Depew recommends that the Chief of Police be made
aware.

From: Pat Threm, Chairman- Civic Beautification
Last
summer the Garden Lovers’ Club did some plantings
at the Veteran Park at the corner of North St. and Highland Ave.
Extension. We planted two weeping cherry trees, two white rhododendrons,
four harlequin euonymous shrubs and several annuals.
The
Club’s Civic Beautification Committee would like to
continue working at the park on a yearly basis by planting annuals
around the monuments each year and replacing trees and/or shrubs
as our budget will allow.
We would like approval from the Town to proceed with this undertaking.
We have clean up scheduled for April 24, 2003. Please advise
us prior to that date. If you have any further question, I can
be reached at xxx-xxxx.

Re: Tent permit for a Lawn and Garden Promotion for Sears
Sears, Galleria Mall would appreciate your considerations and
approval to allow the use of a 30 foot by 40 foot tent for the
purpose of displaying for sale Lawn and Garden equipment for
sales during the time of Thursday to Monday over the weekends
of April 10 to April 14 (5 days) and the weekend of May 8 to
May 12 (5 days). The tents will be rented from Orange County
Rental and they will be responsible to put the tents up and remove
the tents. The purpose of the tent will be to provide cover from
the weather and to allow Sears to display lawn mowers, lawn tractors,
and lawn maintenance equipment to the general public from 9:00
AM to 9:30 PM each day. Merchandise will be removed from the
tents each night and returned to the store for security purposes.
The tents will be located on the upper level parking lot located
near our merchandise pick-up area and in the parking spaces closest
to the store so as not to obstruct and access to the fire lines,
restricted spaces or the normal flow of traffic in the parking
lot. The location will be supervised by Sears associates all
hours that merchandise is present and safety cones and caution
tape will be set up to properly establish proper safety standards
for the general public. The area will be properly marked for
safety after normal business hours.
This is the first time Sears has requested a tent and we are
very concerned to provide a safe and pleasant sales environment
for our customers and associates. Your help in this matter is
greatly appreciated. Please contact me, if you need further information.
