Weare conducting the raffle through our parent organization, <br />MSA, which is considered a non-profit organization. The Urban Forestry Club is a small <br />organization at the University that is focused on urban forestry. We hold symposiums <br />throughout the year on current urban forestry related topics, do volunteer planting <br />projects for the school, attend professional conferences, and host a climbing club. This <br />climbing club is focused on tree climbing using ropes, saddles, and proper techniques. <br />Interest in the club has grown over the years and this summer the club would like to go to <br />Seattle, Washington to climb some bigger trees than can be found here in Minnesota. We <br />will be working with urban forestry and climbing professionals from the Seattle area and <br />are very excited they have extended their time to us. This raftle is an attempt to raise <br />funding for this outing. We will be raffling urban forestry related books donated by <br />publishers for this event. Due to our ignorance in the raffle application process we did <br />not realize the paperwork and approvals needed for the event. In order for us to host this <br />event we are asking you to waive the 30-day waiting period. If you have any questions <br />about the club or MSA please refer to our website at http://www.isa-msa.org. Thank you <br />for you time. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />ffiOJW .~. <br /> <br />Marie Jones <br />Urban Forestry Club President <br />Minnesota Society of Arboriculture Member <br />
