Edelcup <br /> City of Sunny Isles Beach Florida <br /> 18070 Collins Avenue. Suite 250 <br /> Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 <br /> Dear Mayor Edelcup: <br /> I hope all is well with you and your beautiful city, known as 'Florida's Riviera.' We at Jewish <br /> Community Services (JCS)wish to thank you once again for the support you have shown us in <br /> the past. <br /> In light of our mutually beneficial relationship, JCS is requesting that the City of Sunny Isles <br /> Beach consider supporting the work we do for your citizens through an allocation of$25,000. <br /> As a non-profit, non-sectarian social service agency in Miami-Dade County, JCS offers a full- <br /> range of programs to the entire community. The ones most familiar to your residents may be the <br /> older adult social and recreational initiatives and the home-delivered kosher meals program for <br /> frail seniors and Holocaust survivors. There are a number of people from Sunny Isles Beach who <br /> also take advantage of our DUI classes and children's mental health programs. All told, there are <br /> approximately 120 Sunny Isles Beach residents that partake of JCS services. <br /> JCS is a recipient of funding from numerous sources, including the City of Miami Beach, which <br /> allocates$46,900 from its general revenues for transportation of our home-delivered meals. We <br /> hope we can count on the City of Sunny Isles Beach to also partner with JCS in providing <br /> services for its residents. Your allocation of$25,000 would provide ten of your senior adult <br /> residents with home-delivered meals for a year, in addition to supporting all the other programs <br /> benefiting your city. <br /> If you would like to discuss JCS' role in enhancing the lives of your residents, please let me know. <br /> I look forward to our continued affiliation with the City of Sunny Isles Beach. <br /> Best wishes to you and the City Commission. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> /-; <br /> Fred Stock <br /> President& CEO <br /> cc: Lewis J.
