appreciative they were willing to do it.  But I think our decision to go with 
the Regional Fire oranization is our best bet.  I will call Robin with the 
River Park to let her know we also apprcieated their willingness to consider 
being our fiscal agent, but that we chose the regional fire.  It is nice to 
have so much support!Kathy

Subject: Cedar Fire Educational Memorial Dear Christina, Thank you for taking 
the time to speak with me.   As I had stated, we are building an educational 
memorial in Lakeside, set to begin construction this October 26th, the 10th 
anniversary of the fire that changed San Diego so much.  It will be built on a 
site already reserved for the memorial at the new Lakeside Fire Headquarters. 
(see attachment – brown area) The memorial is in its design infancy.  We have 
some ideas but nothing has been cast in stone.  We have a group of community 
leaders involved including the Chamber of Commerce, Cedar Fire Rebuilding 
Resource group, Historical Society and the Fire Department.  The group agrees 
it should show the rebirth of the different elements the fire destroyed.  For 
example, the wildlife and vegetation re-growth might be compared to human 
recovery and rebuilding successes.   It will also list those who lost their 
lives in the fire. There are a
 couple of things we could use.  First and foremost is an umbrella agency for 
the fund raising.  We need to find an experienced and relevant partner with a 
non-profit 501-C3 to handle the donations. Of course, funding would not hurt 
either, but it is not as important as having the proper infrastructure to 
handle these gifts. As your partner, we would be publicizing and providing the 
public with increased awareness of your organization.  The upcoming 10 year 
anniversary and our needs along with our groups deep involvement in the Cedar 
Fire rebuilding efforts means we will likely be a media focal point for this 
event.  In fact, we will likely seek out this attention via press releases and 
calls to media outlets. Hopefully your organization will be able to translate 
this short event into publicity for what you do so well. Please let me know if 
this is something your organization would like to be involved with Best 
regards, David
