C E N T E N N I A L <br /> YDi// #017k8, <br /> A S S O C I A T I O N <br /> Post Office Box 356 / Circle Pines / Minnesota 55014 <br /> www.centennialhockey.org <br /> February, 7, 2011 <br /> Dallas Larson <br /> City Administrator <br /> City of Centerville <br /> 1880 Main Street <br /> Centerville, MN 55038 <br /> Dear Dallas, <br /> Just wanted to follow up with you on your request from Centerville's Park Committee for <br /> a donation to help with improvements on your city's parks and trail systems. With <br /> CYHA being a non — profit organization, we receive a number of request from many <br /> different organization each year. Our hockey association would like to be able to help <br /> out each organization who submits a request. However, as good of a cause as each <br /> request may be, board members can not all ways approve every request. <br /> CYHA main function is to keep the cost down for the over 600 boys and girls who are in <br /> our association. We currently have 95 hockey players from the city of Centerville <br /> skating with CYHA. So even if we can not approve every donation request from your <br /> city, CYHA is still giving back to the residents of Centerville from all of our gambling <br /> sites by having our proceeds reduce the cost of ice hours and fees for each hockey player. <br /> I am sure you are aware of how the economy has really hurt the charitable gambling <br /> industry over the last few years. I am sure you can see from our monthly financials that <br /> you receive from CYHA, that we have not made any profits from our new site at Kelly's <br /> Korner. First year at a new site is all ways a challenge with initial set up cost. We hope <br /> that in the months to come that we will be able to begin to show a profit at Kelly's <br /> Korner and will be able to help out with more donation request from Centerville. <br /> CYHA did approve a good faith donation in the amount of $250.00 to help out with the <br /> Park's Committee reserve account. We hope this is a positive sign of how CYHA wants <br /> to help support and work with the City of Centerville. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 4, s /2 1-- -.4-e-eee- 1 -Z-' <br /> ohm Olmschenk <br /> CYHA Gambling Manager <br />
