This neighborhood event is schedules to begin at 3:00 p.m. and in the past years have ended just after sunset. Because of the number of children on our street and the events planned, it is our request to have the entrances to Laager Lane from Knapp Street and Orchard Lane barricaded during the time of the party. As Laager Lane is not a major thoroughfare, we feel it would be much safer for the residents - especially the children - and will not disrupt major traffic flow. If you have any question or need any further information, please feel free to contact me at the above number. We look forward to receiving a positive response to our request and the city's provision of barricades to block the street on Saturday, August 20, 2005. Sincerely, Anthony R.

" ZTA August 2, 2005 Dear City Manager and Members of the Oshkosh City Council: In recognition of Breast Cancer Education and Awareness Month, the Kappa Lambda Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh is planning a 5K Run/WalkIRoIl. I have already spoke with the Parks Department and have reserved the Opera House Square as the starting point of the race. This letter is to request your approval of use of Opera House Square and city streets on Saturday, October 1,2005. The race route will be identical to the 5K Diversity Run that was held this last spring. Beginning at Opera House Square we will go down Algoma Boulevard to Vine Street, Vine Street to High Avenue and High Avenue back to Opera House Square. We would like Market Street between High Avenue and Algoma Boulevard to be closed. The race will begin at 8:30 a.m. and will be a total of 3.2 miles or 5 kilometers. The above-mentioned streets on our route will only be in use for the race for approximately 45 minutes to one hour after the race begins. Entertainment will also be provided for the community and our participants with a free concert by Pandora's Groove, a local steel drum band. Being titled "Zeta Tau Alpha Think. Pink. 5K RunlWalk/Roll," our goal is to raise $5,000 to be donated toward our national foundation for Breast Cancer Education and Awareness. We would like to make this an annual event that will continue to raise awareness and raise money for such a worthy cause. I look forward to working with the City of Oshkosh and hosting a meaningful event that will increase the awareness of breast cancer and how it affects the millions of people who have been touched by it one way or another. . If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call me during work hours at 920.303.9200 or in the evenings at 608.487.3224.
