2 <br />City of Elk River <br />re: Community partnerships for fiscal 1996-1997 <br /> <br />0~. 22, 1996 <br /> <br /> Rivers of Hope has a 1996-1997 budget of $263,180.00, of which 93 % goes directly to client <br />services. Active fundraising efforts by our agency have secured approximately three-fourths of this <br />budget to date. However, this budget allows us only to keep pace with 1995 levels. It does not allow <br />for increased hours of advocacy necessary to serve the increasing number of victims seeking services. <br />Therefore, Rivers of Hope is launching "Home Safe - A Campaign to Build Peace" to raise <br />$100,000.00 to provide services to victims of domestic violence within our community. <br /> <br /> We know that the City of Elk River is also committed to building healthy families and a safe <br />community, therefore, we are asking you to partner with Rivers of Hope in our "Home Safe" <br />campaign. <br /> <br /> Your contribution will be utilized for general operating support for expenses associated with <br />direct client services and community education efforts. <br /> <br /> A contribution from the City of Elk River will assist our organization in continuing to provide <br />quality services to community residents who have been victimized by domestic violence. Please join <br />in our effort to build a community free of domestic violence. <br /> <br /> Rivers of Hope will be contacting you shortly to answer any questions you may have. Should <br />you require further information, please contact Margaret Ostman, Executive Director at 441-0792. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />Julie A. LeVos <br />President <br /> <br /> <br />
