Dear Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce Members:
T? Iii y Par, fO:7 It.' ..iZSl. i7 ^C eVL'C, t1W SeniOr C.IdSS Ot
Palm Beach Gardens High Community School has overwhelmingly
voted to participate in Project Graduation. Project
Graduation is an all- night, alcohol and drug free party
which will be staged the night of the seniors' graduation,
June 4, 1987. The party will include games, music, dancing,
food, prizes, and hopefully, terrific memories for all who
attend.
In order to provide the seniors with a night they can
truly remember, the parents and administration of Palm Beach
Gardens have gotten together to organize the event. To do
so, however, we need your help.
.c make Project Graduation happen for the over 500
students whom we expect to attend, we must raise in excess
of $10,000. The students will be doing their part through
candy sales, car washes, etc., but they cannot do it alone.
School board funding is not available for this type of
activity. We need your help.
We hope that by putting forth a united, community
effort, we will be able to make our first Project Graduation
a huge success. Any contribution to our cause that you can
make will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Hugh E. Bray 1
