Dear Andy and Richard

On behalf of the Calumet Community Center, we would like to thank you and all Radio Amateur Volunteers for coming out to help with the Red Hot Chili Pepper Bike Rally for the 12^th year. This year was hard for us and as you know I almost canceled. However, once more you came to our rescue and we were able to have another successful bike rally! We had approximately 342 riders.  Your participation was very much appreciated, and it came at a time when we needed it the most.

The Red Hot Chili Pepper Bike Rally was able to generate over $13,000 for Calumet’s programs! And this success is as much yours as it is ours. Calumet Community Center has been fortunate enough to celebrate 13 years of service to this community, and with friends such as you, our children will receive the much-needed services that our center endeavors to offer. Its times like this that I realize the resilience of the human spirit within our community. Thank you so much for all that you do for Calumet Community Center.

For your records, Calumet’s tax-exempt ID number: 75-2553009

Warmest Regards,

Juanita Miramontes

Executive Director
