O, Box 3414 Vail, Colorado 81658 303/476-7384 Please accept this letter as a request for your continued support of the Women's Resource Center. Your generosity in the past has been extremely helpful to our organization, and we hope to rely on this support in the future. You Mill notice that I have not made a request for a cash amount. Please do not take that as a sign that we do not need more funding! Instead, please note that the continuation of in-kind donations is of the utmost import to us. We will certainly accept with great gratitude any additional funding you might find possible to make available to us. Again, our most sincere gratitude for your continued support. Sincerely yours, Cheryl ~,'~ Pallet, Director on behalf of the Board of Directors lw/CLP I~1/omen~s I~esourcQ Center l/1/I~C of Eac~leCount~ Lower Level, Vail Librcry P. O. Box 3414 Vail, Colorado 81658 303/476-7384 lOctober 1988 The Women's Resource Center of Eagle County offers a myriad of services, all directed towards families in Eagle County. We run the Advocates program, a 24 hour crisis line specifically for victims of family violence and/or sexual assault. The line accepts collect calls, and our volunteers live in all parts of Eagle County. We also run the Teen HOTLINE, which has physical locations in Eagle and Vail. If one location is not active on a given night, collect calls to the other location, are accepted (call forwarding is used in Eagle,. but is not yet available in 'vaiij. A general referral; information ling is run-out of our Vail office. The 500 calls per year range from requests for legal or therapist referrals, to childcare information, to medical and entertainment information. The vast majority of calls are for professional referrals. We sponsor a support group for victims of domestic violence, and we support the Town of Vail's Buddies Program. A Divorce Support group began decently, and we plan to start a Sexual Assault Support group this Fall/Winter. Research is being done on what services we might be able to offer children from violent homes, and we are doing some community education on Date/Aquaintance Rape. The WRC offers free community education meetings, and is available to speak on a variety of topics for school, church, and community service groups. We frequently publish articles in the local medsa to keep the community informed. We also network with various local and statewide groups to make a greater impact. We are involved with Colorado West's "Teen Drinking and Driving prevention" program, as well as the Colorado Domestic Violence Coalition. This year, we have coordinated the writing of a Domestic Violence Policy that the entire 5th Judicial District is adopting. For the implementation~df this policy, the WRC has written two successful grants for training. This will be in place this Fall. The Women's Resource Center is a 501 (c)('3) organization, and is funded solely through the generous support of private and government entities. We have no committments for ongoing support. Approximately one-quarter of our 19$9 budget is funded by State and Federal grants. We anticipate approximately one-quarter will be funded by regional grantors such as the VWALE Board. The remaining half must come from our community, with small amounts possible through private grants. Your continued support is very much appreciated, and very necessary to the life of our agency.

Frontage Rd. Vail, CO 81657 Re: Vail Valley Arts Festival Dear Ron, I am writing this letter on behalf of the Lionshead Merchants Association membership, which represents approximately seventy businesses in the Lionshead area. As you may or may not know, the Lionshead Merchants Association was the major sponsor of the Vail Valley Arts Festival which was held in Lionshead over the weekend of July 9-10. The financial support provided by our Association to do this event in terms of complimentary accommodations, cash for awards, advance radio advertising and live remote promotion on radio amounted to approximately $10,000. We are obviously committed to this event which we feel benefits not only Lionshead, but all of Vail, as it provides an additional activity for both locals and tourists from outside of our area to enjoy. zn critiquing the Arts Festival at our meeting, everyone felt that overall, it was a successful event and one which we should continue to support in the future. It was, however, felt that the town could provide more support for the Vail Arts Festival by providing more substantial and visible signage throughout the public areas of Vail directing people to Lionshead. I would appreciate your thoughts on how we might involve the town in achieving better exposure for Lionshead during next year's Arts Festival. Please let me know if there is a convenient time when we could meet or talk over the phone. I appreciate your taking the time to give some thought to this matter. S' cer ly, Chris Hanen, President Lionshead Merchants Association CH/kb cc: Vail Town Council (7) Mike Phillips, Association Treasurer/LMA y 'I '~~~~v~ August 10, 1988 Mr.. Chris Hanen, President Lionshead Merchants Association c/o Lion Square Lodge and Conference Center 660 West Lionshead Place Vail, Colorado 8167 Dear Chris: Thank you for all your assistance with the Vail Arts Festival this year: Your help along with the Lionshead Merchants Association was . what made the difference in our having a successful show on July 9th and 10th. Please convey our heartfelt thanks to all of the merchants who participated in promoting the Vail Arts Festival being on the Lionshead Mall. We look forward to next year when the Vail Arts Festival 6 will be on Saturday and Sunday, July 8th and 9th. We would like to continue to have it located on the Lionshead Mall if it would be similar to this year's involvement by the Lionshead Merchants Association. We hope that the Vail Arts Festival brought a great increase in the traffic and sales for the Lionshead merchants during those two days. We had some feed-back that it was very successful for them. Please let us know if the Lionshead Merchants Association would like to sponsor the Vail Arts Festival 6 so that we can coordinate all the publicity on it in order to include the association in the advertising. If done soon enough, all the publicity will include the association's name reference for artists as well as the general public. We could also do an article concerning this joint venture project...plus any other ideas? [Je wish you and the Lionshead Merchants Association much success. Sincerely, Pamela Story Festival Coordinator Eagle ~Yalley Arts Council P. O. Box 1153 Vail, Colorado 81658 (303) 476255 October 10, 19133 Kent Rose, Mayor Town of Vail 75 S. Frontage Rd. Vail, CO 81657 Re: Outdoor Skating Rink in Lionshead Dear Kent, RECD 0 CT 1 0 1988 As you may or may not know, the Lionshead Merchants Association was resurrected in January, 1988 with the intent of allowing the seventy member businesses to speak with one voice in working toward enhancing the image, atmosphere and appal of Lionshead. For the past few months, a committee made up of Borne of our Association members, has been investigating costs and other specifics relative to the feasibility of installing an outdoor ice rink on a year round basis in Lionshead. The committee reported to our rnemoership at our monthly meeting on September 20, 1988 and it appears that it would not be feasible for our Association to subsidize the entire cost which was estimated at $8000 per month to install and maintain a 1200 sq.ft. outdoor rink. I was asked however, on behalf of the Association rnemoership, to express to the town that the Lionshead Merchants Association would aggressively support a proposal from the town to install an outdoor skating rink in the Lionshead Mall and might also be willing to subsidize a portion of the expense. It is felt by our Association merr>'aership, including myself, that the Lionshead Mall area needs to become a more attractive place for both locals and tourists visiting Vail, and an that outdoor rink would certainly help move Lionshead toward that goal. Should you or other council members care to discuss this concept in more detail, representatives from our Association would be interested in sitting down and discussing this matter. I would appreciate hearing from you either verbally or in writing so that I can communicate back to our membership with an update. Thank you very much.

VA[l.. COLORADO Rif 57 ~~c~ oc~ 10 ~~~~ 303147G-6497 Councilman Michael Cacioppo Town of Vail 7Ei S. Frontage fid. West Vai1,C0., 81657 October~9, 1988 Dear Councilman: Your comments to the papers were well taken. It i.s upsetting to learn that the 'Town may again fund Brava Colorado for about $25000. I was told by Brad Quayle and Don~~a Meyer that B.C. was a creation of Vail Associates. V.A.last season put up on.iy $7:00 and for same was able to pint six events at Beaver Creek nn Nail's events-calendar. They also arranged the deal with the Angel Fire artists as a "package" deal. Two ladies rle~:t plzdged about $100,000 to back this idea, and then talked the Town and the Vail Valley Foundation into putting up $56000 and $48000 respectively. Brad and Donna were to help produce the concerts, and because of my comments last Spring they did try 'to ssr up a meeting with the Bravo principals. I wanted to point out that what was needed was an organization to pi^omote concerts in tt~~ amphitheatre and not at Beaver Creek, that they were paying too much for their performers, and that the name of the game was selling tickets and fiilling seats. The principals refuseei to meet with me. (By the way, where were the two pas.d Diroctors of Bravo, all season? They seemed to be invis:ibie to she community.) Does the Vail Valley Foundation plan to help Bravo again? I may be wrong but I doubt it! Vail had five concer±s at JFA at a cost of $42000 each. Similiar quality concerts could have been obtained from Columbia Artists or Affiliated Artists for about $8000 each. And the main question of course is the attendance. The demographics are not here for much classical music - the people are just not old enough, etc. You can't get someone to pay to hear Beethoven`s "Fifth" if he doesn't understand it. Like it or• not, the young people here want to hear pop, rock, jazz, big band, some Western, etc. Even light classical needs packag~.ny with something else to sell. It has been shown by other producers that Vail can draw 3000 crowds by marketing the right performers to the front range including Denver, the Springs, etc. Even the calendar function of Bravo Colorado was a fai~ure. They published it first too early - the main Summer calendar only had about 709k of the eventual activities on it. Next they ~~ ':~; sponsored two concerts on August 8th opposite each other - Chuc-c Mangione @ B.C. and the Children`s Chorale/Susan Chapin lluintet @ the JFA. My suggestion is the Town refuse to pour good taxpayer money after bad and recognize that a broad based, knowledgeable. financially responsible group be formed to work with the VVF and the Town on putting events in the Amphitheatre. I envision a 1/3,1/3,1/3 public, private and Foundation partnership. This might be a forerunner to later completing Dobson Arena and cutting down that building's annual deficit.) And the Town should not be promoting Beaver Creek, which it did last season as part of Bravo. Most of all I hope the VVF will recognize that whoever produces events must emphasize filling seats in the JFA by selling tickets and/or corporate sponsorships. This means understanding our market and what people will directly or indirectly buy. cc:Ron Phillips Hager Yours ~ruly, ~~ John S .' .--~F`uschman ~.. ~_ f-.

Colorado 80160 303!795-2813 The contract was signed on August 29, 1988. At that time, Hart accompanied by Norman Wood visited six sites -Upper Dowd, Castle Peak, Cordillera, Minturn, Redcliff (town), and Bellyache Ridge. Notes were made concerning the site layouts, observed coverage potential, power availability, ease of access, etc. to be used in developing the study. Castle Peak, Minturn, and Redcliff sites presently house TV translators. The FCC database of applications and licenses revealed 26 television translators within Eayie County. These are shown on the attached sheet. Call signs indicating the channel and the principal coverage cities are listed. We were yiven the enyineering information (FCC application data) for the Avon (new) and for the Minturn translators. We also looked over technical information for the Redcliff translators when we visited Redcliff. Norman Wood is obtaining data on the Castle Peak (called Walcott in the FCC records) translators; and we have contracted with a Washinyton, D.C. "copying company" and ordered the remaining information. We have begun using the modeling software to determine the A and B coverage contours. This requires the digitizing of the antenna radiation patterns which must be synthesized from the manufacturers' pattern data. Where there are phased yagi or paraflector antennas, the patterns must first be combined. We will be assembling this antenna data, site coordinates, the ERP's (effective radiated powers), site elevations, antenna radiation center heights and so forth on all the translators to run "production" contours once -ye have the modeling parameters set. We hope to receive the rest of the required technical data before the end of this month. During October we will most likely complete the contours for the exist in translators. October will also be the month to examine the county maps closely for other potential sites. Both the Upper Dowd and the Bellyache Ridge sites appear to have potential. If any committee members know of other sites, we would appreciate knowing about them. We will also start collecting current cost information from translator component suppliers.
