<br />e <br /> <br />CITY OF LA PORTE _ <br />INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDU~ <br />APRIL 19, 1988 <br /> <br />TO: Bob Herrera, City Manager <br /> <br />THRU: Stan Sherwood, Director Parks & Recreation <br /> <br />FROM: Tim O'Connor, Recreation Superintendent <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Recognition of Pasadena Bayshore Medical Center's Co- <br />Sponsorship of the 1988 La Porte Triathlon <br /> <br />In February of 1987, Pasadena Bayshore Medical Center agreed to be a <br />partial sponsor of our 1987 Triathlon. Dr. Dale Clark, Director of <br />Marketing, was so impressed with our event and its' potential that <br />he proposed an exclusive P.B.M.C. sponsorship in 1988 to Mr. Larry <br />Huff, C.E.O., and the Board of Directors. The proposal was approved <br />and the preparations for 1988 began. <br /> <br />Dr. Clark agreed that P.B.M.C. would provide the monies for the <br />following: <br /> <br />I. 300 participant shirts @ $6.80 ea. = $2,040.00 <br />II. 75 volunteer shirts @. $8.00 ea. = $ 600.00 <br />I I I. 250 insulated mugs @. $1. 50 ea. = $ 375.00 <br />I V . Custom awards and statues = $ 569.00 <br />V. Race numbers and race packages = $ 300.00 <br />VI. Refreshments for participants = $ 150.00 <br /> <br />TOTAL MONIES <br /> <br />= <br /> <br />~L-Q.a4.. 00 <br /> <br />Besides the monies, Dr. Clark and his staff provided us with updated <br />artwork for the event, advertising suggestions, proposed a more <br />festive atmosphere, both pre and post race, designed overall <br />trophies and provided their sports medicine team on site. <br /> <br />Their assistance was paramount to our success and has insured the La <br />Porte Triathlon will fast become one of the favorite triathlons of <br />athletes throughout the state of Texas. We tripled our attendance <br />this year when compared to the first three years of this event. We <br />have decided to move the event to La Porte's Sylvan Beach in 1989 to <br />accommodate the anticipated four to five hundred entries. <br /> <br />Without the support of a community oriented organization like <br />Pasadena Bayshore Medical Center, such quality events would be <br />impossible for La Porte to facilitate. I propose that the Mayor <br />present to Mr. Larry Huff and P.B.M.C. a plaque as a token of our <br />appreciation, and a plaque to Dr. Dale Clark for his efforts in <br />making the 1988 Triathlon a success. <br /> <br />We do have a tentative agreement with P.B.M.C. to co-sponsor the <br />1989 Triathlon.
