Dear Friends of the Festival,

Spring has arrived!  Our Tulip Festival is only two months away!  We are excited to celebrate our 68^th anniversary.  Our celebration relies on the many willing volunteers in our community.  One of our biggest assets is our financial supporters.  We are writing to ask for your monetary support for the Festival through the Friends of the Festival Foundation.

Throughout the past years your donations enabled our Tulip Festival Committee to purchase many positive enhancements, such as:

            two pedicabs                night show theatre curtains                  new floats

            sound system               new chairs for town hall                      website

            pole banners                straatmarkt retail booth                        DVD

This year we hope to purchase:  new organ books for the Dutch street organ (5 or 6 @$300 per book = $1500-$1800), a “large” wooden shoe for photos = $2000, band travel incentives - $2000 estimate, new backdrop for future night shows, and complete the straatmarkt booth.  We are open to any community suggestions as to new endeavors.

Please consider making a tax-deductible gift to the Friends of the Festival Foundation in support of these projects  Your contribution enables us to provide a “fun-filled family and friends experience” for all ages.

Thank you for your consideration!

Deb De Haan, volunteer

Friends of the Festival Foundation Chairperson
