Bridge Run for Saturday, April 18, 2015 from 6:45 A.M. to 9:00 A.M. We are very
proud to say that our local youth benefit in excess of $700,000.00 from proceeds from the
7-Mile Bridge Run since it began in 1982. We appreciate the overwhelming response we
receive from our annual event and thankful to participants, sponsors, volunteers and the
continued support of our community.
We will be acquiring all the necessary permits, insurances and certificates which will be
provided to you upon request at the completion of receipt.
We are anxious to hear from you following the outcome of your next meeting so we can
proceed with planning next year's running event. Please acknowledge the approval of the
34t' Annual 7-Mile Bridge Run by the commission by email to ba, lesb _ ,earthlink.net.
Please send me the conformation and the link of the approval/minutes which would make

Thank you, Mayor and Commissioners, in advance, for your time, consideration and
continued support for this fine local event to benefit our local youth.
Sincerely,
