Dear Mayor Campbell:
On behalf of the Regional Center of Orange County, I am respectfully requesting that the City of
Seal Beach issue a proclamation to recognize September 26, 2003 as Developmental Disabilities
Day. We appreciate the proclamations we have received in previous years that have honored those
that perform outstanding work on behalf of people with developmental disabilities. A copy of
sample language is enclosed.
On September 26, 2003 the Regional Center of Orange County will sponsor the seventh annual
Spotlight Awards banquet at the Irvine Marriott Hotel. Enclosed please find an invitation to the
awards ceremony — we would love to have you join us. The purpose of the event is to honor
individuals and organizations in Orange County that have improved the quality of life for people
with developmental disabilities. The ceremony provides a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge
and showcase outstanding achievements. For the past seven years, the Spotlight Awards event has
been an overwhelming success, with 800 people attending in 2002.
We would appreciate receiving your city's proclamation by Monday, September 22, 2003. It can be
sent to Karen Taylor, Regional Center of Orange County, P.O. Box 22010, Santa Ana, CA 92702.
All proclamations and resolutions will be displayed at the Spotlight Awards banquet. .
If we may be of further assistance in this matter, please contact Karen Taylor at (714) 796 -5208.
Thank you for your consideration of our request. We look forward to your positive response.
Sincerely,
i‘
Bill Bowman
Executive Director
