TM December 16, 2004 Dear City Council Members, The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh organizing committee of the Roseanne Hoefel Run For Diversity formally requests the use of the race route outlined below to hold our charity event. The run is planned for Saturday, April 23, 2005 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. The event will be a 5K and runners, walkers, and rollers (people wîth wheelchairs and strollers only) will be invited to participate. Faculty, staff, and students at UW Oshkosh have come together to create this event in order to honor the memory of Roseanne Hoefel as well as to continue her work in educating others on issues of diversity. Roseanne Hoefel was an associate dean in the College of Letters and Science at Oshkosh who was committed to bringing unique educational opportunities to students in the area of diversity. Tragically, she died in May of 2001. All proceeds from the run will benefit the Roseanne Hoefel Multicultural Education Fund and the creation of a Social Justice Fair. The race will begin at Founders Plaza on Main St. between Algoma and High Streets and continue as follows: Go up Algoma towards the University, Left on Vine Ave., Left on High St., Right on Rockwell, Left along the River Walk, Right on Wisconsin, Left on Pearl, Right on Osceola, Right on High, and finish in front of the Grand Opera House near where the nice began. We will need only one lane of Algoma and one lane of High St. to be blocked off for about a halfhour to give serious runners an opportunity to begin and finish the race without traffic delays. After that, walkers, people with strollers, and wheelchairs will use the sidewalk. We would also like permission to set up two tables on the downtown green for registration as well as four booths to distribute information about running and other events in the area on the day of the event. I will be in touch with Sergeant Bakri of the Oshkosh Police Department as soon as he returns in January. In the past, the Oshkosh Police Department has been very supportive of the run and helped us immensely with making the race route safe for participants. For fundraising purposes, we wanted to receive permission to hold the race on the April 23, 2005 date as soon as possible. All rules and regulations governing the use of the Plaza and all park properties will be strictly adhered to. We will be insured, as required, to protect all participants. Details of the insurance will be supplied by me at a later date. DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH. COLLEGE OF LETTERS AND SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN OSHKOSH. 800 ALGOMA BLVD.

In past years, Oshkosh Police have done such an excellent job in patrolling the Oshkosh City streets for our WalkAmerica! The 2005 Oshkosh Walk is scheduled for Saturday, April 30, 20oSwith the start & finish of the walk at Menominee Park - Kiwanis Shelter #1. Registration begins at 8:00a.m. and the walk starts at 9:00a.m. Last year, we had over 200 walkers help the March of Dimes. The walk is 110t a race..... it's just a day to get exercise, fresh air, food and drink with mends, family, co-workers or fellow students while all raising money for the March of Dimes - "Saving Babies, Together". The walk routes are the same as they were in past years and the start/finish is at Menominee Park again which was a rest area for us in the past. We will have a 3-mile, 6-mile and a 12-mile route. Again, I am giving details about this year's walk to Cpt. Randy Vaness and Sgt. Tim Bakri to have the safety of our routes patrolled by the local Police Deptartment. Therefore, the Oshkosh Police Deptartment will be aware of our walk along with dates, times and routes of the walk. The following page is a copy of the route map. If you have any other questions or if I need to do anything else to register our walk, please call me at 1-800-780-3463. Hope to hear from you very soon!

The event will consist of a march and an open forum. Weare seeking the closure of Algoma from Main Street to the UWO. To instill safety we need the brief closure of the Division, Jackson and Wisconsin intersections. In 2003, the WPJC sponsored a very successful Martin Luther King Jr. Remembrance march and open forum. As in the past we will start 3:00pm, at the Grand Opera Square marching to the Reeve Union for an MLK open forum. The march should not take more than thirty minutes. The WPJC is built on the foundation of which Martin Luther King Jr. strived to layout for the future generations to live free of racism and oppression in a community that is sustained upon justice and equality. The WPJC and its organizers have a rich history of building change in the Oshkosh community through active nonviolence. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or community aspirations. Sincerely, Bob Poeschl Bob Poeschl Director, Winnebago Peace and Justice Center 321 Market St. Oshkosh, WI 54901 920-203-6966 giftgt gt\gQigh ~utheltat\ Chultch 1013 MINNESOTA STREET - OSHKOSH, WISCONSIN 54901 PHONE 231-9890 January 5, 2005 Dear Oshkosh City Manager, First English Lutheran Church and Peace Lutheran Church would like to sponsor an informal summer worship service in South Park every Wednesday during June, July and August. This could include June 1, 8, 15,22,29, and July 6, 13,20,27, and August 3, 10, 17,24, 31. Our first choice would be the South Park #1 Large Shelter. As of this Wednesday morning, only two Wednesdays had conflicts. On those two days, we could move to the South park Gazebo or South Park #2. We would probably want it from 5 to 8:30 pm. This would allow us to set up and take down our music equipment. Perhaps we could shave off a half hour either early or late to facilitate another group with some planning ahead oftime. Thank you for your cooperation, f~~+¥ Pastor Chuck Fluegel
