ATLANTA, GEORGIA o 30302 July 25, 1969 Our 102nd Year Mayor Ivan Allen City Hall Atlanta, Georgia ,, 30303 Dear Mayor Allen: The Atlanta Jay cees plan to sponsor and conduct a "political rally " October 3, 1969 between 12:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. in Plaza Park for all candidates for mayor, vice mayor and alderman. While we seek participation in this event of the vice mayor candidate(s) and aldermanic candidates, the principal emphasis will be for those officially announced candidates that would like very much to b e yo ur successor in office. This event will be promoted as the last chance to publicly speak with the mayoralty candidates and ask them questions. It will primarily be a question and answer forum. Also, we plan to promote the importance to the Atlanta Area of this election with particular accentuation of the individual's responsibility to his city government. We, in the Atla nta Jaycees, are acutely aware of our civic responsibility and want to work actively towards improving the social and governmen tal environment in which we live. We seek constructive involvement in the affairs of government an d through this "politica l rally" we hope to stress the importance of this years mayor's race. By exposing the general public to the candidates we feel as if we will be serving our city by encouraging more citizens to vote, and hopefully for the candidate that can best serve Atlanta, as you have so ably done during the past eight years Mayor Al l en. I am chairman of the Jaycee's Political Rally Committee, and responsible for the "rally" I have been discussing . I would like very much to have the opportunity to discuss with you at your convenience this affair for the mayoralty election, and also a governmental liason effort that our Governmental Affairs Committee is in the process of organizing . Your thoughts and ideas would be very valuable to us May or Allen, and we solicit them . Res e a rch Man age r �
