4 <br /> The University of North Carolina system has responded with efforts from two of their <br /> services. Mr. Eric Munson, CEO of UNC Hospitals, has provided a grant of$8000.00 toward <br /> the purchase of radio equipment that will be placed on the tower. Mr. Harvey Arnold, the <br /> WUNC-TV Associate Director of Engineering, has made arrangements for us to have the back-,up <br /> radio located at 1000 feet on their new 1300-foot TV tower. This guarantees we will be able <br /> support any agency requesting assistance anywhere within the county-wide area in times of crisis. <br /> The above information brings me to the reason you are getting this letter. Because the <br /> whole project when fully funded, will cost about $28,000. We are asking you to consider two <br /> thoughts about this project. <br /> First, would your organization be able to give funds for the purchase of equipment ? <br /> 1. By matching funds donated by the UNC Hospital System $8000.00 Grant. <br /> 2. By agreeing to purchase need--d pieces of equipment not to exceed$8000.00. <br /> 3. By donating any sum approv-d by your management. <br /> Second, if you are unable to participate with a gift at this time would you be willing to <br /> provide us with a letter of endorsement for the project that we could use in our efforts to obtain <br /> further funding from local corporations and sources in the area? <br /> I am proud to be working with a group that really does "put something back into the <br /> community" and I know you will understand when I tell you that ANY participation will be <br /> greatly appreciated. Our goal for this project when it is finished is that it can be said"the whole <br /> community worked on this and got it done!". <br /> Sincerely Yours, <br /> John W.
