Dear Mr. Burke.
The City of Spokane Valley invites President George W. Bush or his appointed representative to
attend, or a letter of congratulations to be read at our official Incorporation Ceremony on March 3l,
2003. In May of 2002, our community voted to incorporate a 38 square mile area east of the City
of Spokane in the State of Washington. This past November, the 7 Council Members. signed
below, were elected and have been working very hard to establish the 8'' largest city in the state of
Washington. Our population of 81,000 residents are hard working conservatives who are mostly
Republicans. President Bush was our choice, by an overwhelming margin, in the 2000 elections.
On March 31, 2003, we will mark the end of a week of events commemorating the establishment
and official incorporation of our city. We will be honored if President Bush, or his representative,
could attend this celebration of true grass roots government at work. In lieu of such an honor we
would welcome a letter of congratulations from President Bush. We will read the letter at the
ceremony. and it will be displayed in a place of honor in our New City Hall.
If you have any questions, please call our City Hall !,d! 509-921-1000. Kenneth Lisaius was kind
enough to give us your name.
Respectively.

On this important day of new beginnings for your fine city, and in recognition of
our enduring democratic form of government, I offer my congratulations to the citizens of
Spokane Valley for the official incorporation of your city.
This celebration would not be possible without the commitment of Spokane
Valley residents to create a new city. Their enterprising spirits were honored by the vote
last spring when Spokane Valley decided to form an independent government, one close
to the people and responsive to the specific needs of its citizens.
Spokane Valley residents were then challenged to select the inaugural City
Council to which the enormous task of shaping the new government was granted. Again,
Spokane Valley citizens accepted that challenge and chose seven dedicated
representatives who have performed their responsibilities with one overriding principle in
mind: do what is right for the people.
I havc been pleased to observe the spirit of cooperation that has developed among
Spokane Valley's elected officials. I know great things lie ahead for this shining jewel of
the inland `vortltwest.
Good luck to you in the celebration of your incorporation and best wishes for a
prosperous future.
God Bless.
Cordially,
00 ~

I have been made aware that your financial condition is somewhat different, in that you
actually have a sizeable surplus.
I am looking forward to assisting you with managing that surplus. Thank you for your
attention to this matter.
Sincerely,

Ruth,
I had emailed Pastor Ian Robertson in England telling him about the Mayor wanting him to do the invocation. He said he
would be happy to do that. So he is confirmed to do that for you and you will not have to have a back up just in case. Have
a great day.

Hi Everybody,
I have made contact with a friend of mine who works in the White House Press
department. I asked him how we can get President Bush to send us a letter of
congratulations to be read at our incorporation ceremony on 31 March. I will keep
you posted on what I find out. I suspect we will be asked to send a letter, signed by
all the members of the council, inviting him to our celebration. Obviously, he will not
attend, but the letter will be nice.

To Whom It May Concern:
City of Spokane Valley march 7, 2003
Hi folks! I had such a blast last year when l moved to Spokane, only to find a block party at the- park a
half a block away from my new home.
I filmed the event, the Valley Fest, in parts and pieces all day long, capturing; the event for my
arrluves, and I'll soon be working on a special `Valley Fest' commercial in my computer!
'that's the 'secret' project that 1 will only show the council, when it's finished. I will tell you this, with
the footage I've got now, and the first storyboard 1 used - all of the Spokane - Coeur d'Alene area will
be enticed to attend next year's event.
After the Valley Fact, the very next dav, l walked into the home movie set of the Just Park It Tour for
INCC. I produced the movie for their clubs and they loved it - many people saying it was the best
ever'
I also have an "ensive background in the production ofsouvenirs, i.e.: hats. T-shirts, coffee muffs
key chains, pesters, bumper stickers, matches, pens, pencils, post cards and on and on.
I also have some mule-meiia experience in video and radio production - and now locally with the Just
Park It Tour home movie.
I would like to propose to you a new position to work with the council A film photographer for all
evems and historian to archive Spokane Valley film materials combined with a souvenir specialist to
work- with local manufacturers to produce Spokane Valley products!
I've fallen in love with this place and I sincerely believe this is a very special opportunity for me and
the Spokane Vallee to use my extensive talents-
I can provide samples of souvenirs and a copy of the Just Park It Tour video at any meeting 1 believe
vour needs are time constricted and I would luvc to talk as soon as possible!
Sincerely.

The Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce has reviewed the proposal
submitted by Bill Burke of Burke Marketing/Promotions. We believe that the
