O'Neill II Director of Purchasing & Risk Management 215 North Mason Street Fort Collins, Colorado To Whom This May Concern: Thank you so much for the opportunity to bid the Natural Areas 1 Oth Anniver- sary Celebration. Enclosed is our catering services proposal for bid # 5733. In addition to our menu proposed, we wanted to let you know that you can customize the menu by choosing any seven of the hors de oeuvres and any three of the desserts out of all of the selections on both menus. Furthermore, we will proved linens, skirting & harvest colored clothes for our banquet tables. The Senior Center, however, will need to provide the tables for us. We will require 3 eight foot banquets for the event. Another item that may be of interest to you for your function is that Paul Pelle- grino, (head chef for All Occasions) aired a 1/2 hour program on local televi- sion last fall which promotes local vendors and the farmers market. This broadcast has a cooking demonstration and has an interview with a local farmer. We thought this tape could mesh nicely with your harvest theme and wanted to let you know that it is available to you if you would like to use it for your function. This is available for you to preview at any time. Thanks again for the opportunity to bid the harvest event. Please contact me if you have any additional comments or questions regarding our proposal.
