This fall, Citrus College will hold its sixth annual "Saluting Our Veterans" event. The event will
take place on Thursday, November 3, 2011, starting at 11:00 a.m. in the Campus Center Mall.
%!%le hope that the City of Azusa will once again serve as a co-sponsor, as you have done in
previous years.
This year, the format will be changed slightly to make it more upbeat and entertaining. Here are
a few of the details:
• Gladstone High School Marching Band will perform the musical prelude
• Veterans from our co -sponsoring cities will be honored
• AMVETS will present colors
• The program will include a short USO -style show reminiscent of the 1940's, with
performances by Citrus College performing arts students
• Since the stage will be used for the show, dignitaries will be seated in reserved seating
in the first few rows of the audience, along with special guests and the veteran honorees
• We are not requesting certificates this year
Your sponsorship in previous years of $200 made it possible for the Gladstone High School
Marching Band to secure buses to transport their students to Citrus College. 1 understand that
this has been a positive experience for them, and they have expressed their eagerness to
perform again this year.
The City of Glendora and Azusa Pacific University have agreed to serve as co-sponsors of this
year's event. As one of the college's key community partners, we are hopeful that the City of
Azusa will be able to do so as well. Azusa will receive credit in the program and any other event
publication.
Thank you for your consideration of this request
