Dear Mr. Webb:
The night of April 12, when our Atlanta Braves open their National
League season against the Pittsburgh Pirates, will begin one of the
most thrilling chapters yet in the success story of this vibrant,
growing city. I am asking you to take an important personal role
in a community effort to show the national business leadership, as
well as sports followers, the kind of city Atlanta has become.
The eventful days leading up to our major league opening present a
rare opportunity for regional executives like yourself to show off
our city at its delightful best to the head of your company and
others from your home office. It is an ideal time to meet our
local leaders and other prominent businessmen and join in the
enthusiasm and excitement of Atlanta's entry into the big leagues.
There are many events you will want your home office associates
and their wives to attend with you: The Braves vs. Yankees exhi-
bition games, April 8-10; the Mayor's dinner honoring our Braves
on Monday evening, April 11; the parade on the afternoon of Opening
Day; and the opening game itself Tuesday night. Our "Dogwood City"
should then be at the peak of its Springtime beauty.
I am counting on you to make a special effort to have the head of
your firm and others from your home office be with us for the
celebration of this historic event. Would you kindly return the
enclosed card to let me know whom you are inviting, and, at a
later date, tell me of their acceptance?
Very ly yours,
Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of Atlanta
