Dear Mayor & Members of Council: AN

RE: Request for 1991 contribution $600 YL
Congratulations on your election werTook forward to working with you over
the next three years. Now let's deal with another upbeat event....

Volunteerism works! Just look at some of the statistics about PITCH-IN WEEK
whieh took place May 7-2, 1990:

- 500.000 residents participated

_ 1.591 organizations organized cleanup and reccling
programs

- Action projects were undertaken in virtually every
community in the province

- 5,895 projects ranging from schoolyard clean-ups to
river/stream/lake enhancement projects were undertaken

PITCH-IN WEEK, the province's largest environmental action program proves
that, given an opportunity, British Columbians want to do their part to clean
up the environment and narticipate in recycling and other environmental
action programs.

The bottom line? A total of $42 million in voluntary labour was donated
during PITCH-IN WEEK, add to that the millions of doilars of support services
donated by iocal governments such as your own. Ana, on top of it all, tne
media contributed hundreds of thousands of doilars in free air time and
advertising space in response to our request for pudlic service advertising
support.

PITCH-IN WEEK is only one of several programs sponsored by PITCH-IN BRITISH
COLUMBIA, a non-profit organization formed in 1967 and made up of a number
of other provincial organizations who are represented on our Advisory Board.
These organizations are listed at the end of this letter. Other programs which
we sponsor include the Community Pride Program, the Clean Beaches Campaign

and an educational program for schools. ie
