" TM January 8, 2006 Dear City Council Members, At the City Council Meeting on January 24,2006, the Council approved my request to utilize Grand Opera House Square, city streets and facilities for the Roseanne Hoefel Run for Diversity. However, we have realized that we need to change the date of the run to April 22, 2006. At the time of originally selecting the date, we did not know that Walk For America would be holding an event the same day. Therefore, we would like the City Council to approve this new date of April 22,2006 for the run. Then, our event will no longer be in conflict with Walk For America. All the other information in the original letter will remain the same. I apologize for the oversight on our part about the date. On behalf of the organizing committee of the Roseanne Hoefel Run for Diversity, I thank you for your re-consideration of this event's date. I can be reached at (920) 748-3887 (home) and 424-0918 (office) or at the address on this letterhead. æ/~~ -/1 Jordan Landry ! Department of English DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH.

The "Our Town" project consists of a scavenger hunt of significant Oshkosh buildings. We've commissioned an architectural photograph of 50 Oshkosh buildings which will be compiled in a brochure/entry form. The photographic journey through downtown Oshkosh will run from May 1 to approximately June 25 with several events completing the project. There will be an "Artist's Reception" in late June with a selection of full-size photographs being auctioned. All framed photographs will be displayed at the Oshkosh Public Library and finally, we would like to plan a "social" in Opera House Square on Thursday evening, July 20, 2006. Anyone wishing to attend the social would be welcome. A selection of ftamed photographs will also be auctioned at the social. We envision a summer family event that includes selling ice cream and lemonade and perhaps having a barbershop type performance. There will be prizes for winning "scavenger" entrants announced that evening. A history of each building is also being compiled and will be displayed with each photograph. There are many other elements of this project, which I would be happy to discuss further. We see this as a great way to bring families downtown, show pride in our community, and raise money to support Kiwanis projects. Date: Thursday, July 20,2006 (Rain Date: Friday, July 21,2006) Set up beginning at 4:00 p.m. Preview beginning at 5 :30 Auction at 7:00 Ending at approximately 8:30-9:00 p Please feel free to contact me at 231-6684 or Diane Penzenstadler, 426-1970 should you require further information.
