[Guest guest]

Dear Sponsors and Community Leaders:

 

With 2008 Summer Olympic fast approaching, and on behalf of the

Olympic fans living in Northern California, I am excited to inform

you an upcoming event to celebrate the Olympics in Sacramento.

 

On behalf of the California Exposition and State Fair, KCRA Channel 3

(an NBC television affiliate), and numerous Sacramento Community and

Cultural organizations, we wanted to inform you about an Olympic

Opening Ceremonies viewing event, that will take place on Friday,

August 8 in Sacramento, the Capitol City of California.

 

One Night, One World

Sacramento Celebrates Diversity with the Beijing Summer Olympics

 

2008 Olympics Opening Ceremonies Viewing Party

Friday, August 8, 2008

5:30pm to 11:00pm

Cal Expo Sports & Satellite Wagering Facility

Sacramento, CA

Open to Public, Admission FREE

 

The main objective of the event is to provide an opportunity for the

Sacramento community to celebrate the commencement of the Beijing

Olympics by watching a live broadcast of the Opening Ceremonies in a

unique outdoor venue. The opening ceremonies present a wonderful

opportunity for us to celebrate the cultural diversity of the greater

Sacramento area while highlighting how that diversity is reflected in

the Olympics.

 

The viewing event will be both non-political and non-commercial -- it

is being spearheaded by a group of volunteers whose sole purpose is

to celebrate the Olympics and its proud legacy. Please see attached

event flyer for details.

 

The Cal Expo venue can comfortably accommodate as many as 10,000

Olympic fans. We will also invite any former Olympic athletes who

live in the area to come and share their Olympic experiences with

us. This will be a festive celebration and a great family event.

Families can come together on this ¡°hot August¡± Friday night;

enjoy international cuisine, multi-cultural performances, and the

company of thousands of Olympic fans. Viewers will watch the Opening

Ceremonies broadcast locally on KCRA Channel 3. The station is very

proud to help kick-off this Olympic celebration for Northern

California viewers with this large scale viewing party.

 

As one can imagine, this is a significant undertaking and will be the

first of its kind in Sacramento. To help make this ¡°dream¡±

possible, we ask for your generous support and sponsorship.
