Dear Anne:
The Garden Grant sub-committee of the Florida Nurserymen and Growers Association
(FNGA), in cooperation with FNGA's Marketing Committee, is pleased to grant you partial
funding for the Key West Palm Garden Enhancement.
The committee has decided to award $500 for the plant material contingent upon
receiving an updated plant list with sizes, wholesale prices and a detailed
landscape plan. Please note that the terms of the grant award also include obtaining
your supplies from an FNGA member.
The committee hopes that you will be able to complete your project with donations from
other individuals and organizations, and the grant award is issued based on your ability to
commit to finding these sources.
In order to receive your voucher, sign the enclosed commitment form and return to FNGA
as soon as possible with the requested plant list and landscape design. You will receive a
voucher and an FNGA Locator from the FNGA office within 30 days of returning the
form. If you will not be able to obtain additional funding for completion of the project.
please let us know so that the award can be reissued to another deserving organization.
Again, congratulations! The committee looks forward to hearing about your progress with
the Key West Palm Garden Enhancement through your interim and final reports, which we
would like to see in October 2000 and at the completion of the project. If you anticipate
reporting delays, please let us know in advance.
Sincerely,
~ ~.-X1~
