generous contribution on behalf of former Lodian Sheila Wishek and her family.
The grand total of contributions made by the Hutchins Street Square Foundation
since October, 1997, now stands at $1,074,500. I would ask that these donations
be recorded in the City minutes and that a match offered by the City, Resolution
No. 98-30, be recorded to reduce the Foundation's debt by $2,149,000 effective
today.
It is our honor and pleasure to present this check to the City Council — we
appreciate the Council's willingness to back the community with the funding
mechanism of the certificates of participation and recognize the benefits that the
completion of Hutchins Street Square continues to bring to our community.
Sincerely,
Dennis G. Bennett

This letter is to express our gratitude for the strong support the Hutchins Street Square
Foundation has afforded toward the renovation and construction of the Community Center.
On behalf of the City of Lodi, the City Council was pleased to receive a loan repayment
installment of $250,000.00 from the Foundation at the August 4, 1999 City Council meeting.
As the fundraising body for this project, members of the Foundation have diligently given of
their time and talents toward stimulating interest and volunteerism within Lodi and the
surrounding communities. That the balance of the project debt has already been greatly
reduced is a testimony to the dedication of those who make up and support the Foundation.
We appreciate the Foundation's outstanding efforts and thank you on behalf of the citizens of
Lodi and the surrounding communities who will benefit from this facility.
Sincerely,
