Dear Ms. Sitter: . .
On behalf of the,City of Chanhassen, "would like to thank the Chanhassen Elementary School Association 0 of 0
Parents and Teachers (APT) for your second donation of $4,000 to assist in funding the purchase of play
equipment for the Chanhassen Elementary/City Center Park IMprovement Project. This contribution brings the
APT total allocation- of monies toward this project to $8,000, a sizable sum which will resWt in direct benefit to
I
the children attending Chanhassen Elementary School and other children in the area. It is difficult to imagine
,
the amount of work required to raise these funds. I hope the APT concurs with My belief that they are being
well invested. -
