Dear Ms. Sharmeen;
The Minnesota Valley Electric Trust/Operation Round Up Board of Directors will be
willing to pledge $1,000 towards the construction of the Chanhassen Veterans Memorial
with groundbreaking to begin Memorial weekend, 2007.
The Trust Board will grant two pledges of $500 each to be mailed after the February and
May meeting of next year.
These funds are made available by the cooperative's caring members who have opted
to have their electric bills rounded up and, in turn, help their neighbors and communities.
We trust that these funds will help provide support for your organization so that it may
continue to provide an important service to people and the community.
Sincerely,
John Miller
