No. 20745 03/12/19 ht Exhibit "A" Wanted Riders Trail Ride Social& Civic Organization Port Arthur,TX March 6,2019 The Great City of Port Arthur 444 4th Street Port Arthur,TX 77640 To Whom It May Concern: I serve as President of the social and civic trail ride group "Wanted Riders". We are an organization that focus on community service and advancement of education of children. We are proud to have been successful in providing scholarships to Memorial High School and Tekoa Academy last year to 8 graduates. We also contribute to the Breast Cancer Foundation/walk and host a free community wide cookout at Rose Hill Park supplying free food,games and entertainment as well as host a back to school supply drive. Each year we host an annual zydeco in April that plays a very big part in raising money to offer the scholarships and other community events and aide. The City of Port Arthur has been gracious to allow us to host these event at the Port Arthur Pavilion on Procter Street in downtown Port Arthur since 2017, and we are requesting permission to host the event again April 26, 2019 at the Pavilion. Our vision would be the same as we have done in the past years,which is fencing off the area, selling wrist bands for entrance and with permission to sale beer and BYOB,which is the same process that was granted to us in previous years.The process would be similar to Mardi Gras. We have secured a three million dollar insurance policy and obtained street closure forms and have contacted the Port Arthur Police Department, in addition to hiring other security. This has proven to be a great event each year and we anticipate the same. We have also secured area hotels for lodging all our out of town guest in the hope of bringing money to our local businesses and community. We will assume full responsibility for the cleanup of the event,ensuring that all trash is picked up and cleared and place in the designated area for disposal/pick up. We will be happy to adhere to any guidelines, policy, procedures and rule that you deem necessary and make the necessary adjustments on our part to make this happen. Your consideration would be greatly appreciated.
