RE:
Girl Scout 90th Birthday
Dear Chris,
I am attaching a letter from the State Director of the Montana Girl Scout
organization. They are requesting the use of Lawrence Park for their 90th
Birthday Celebration in August 2002.
This request would require a special use permit for overnight camping at
Lawrence park, and exclusive use of the park for the weekend. I personally
believe this would be a rewarding opportunity for the community and support it
100%. The impacts to the park would be minimal with the bulk of the camping
activities are scheduled for the back section or historic portion of the park,
minimizing neighborhood impacts. I would appreciate your and/or Council's
desires prior to consideration of the permit.

Girl Scouts of Big Sky Council would like to reserve the entire area of Lawrence Park for
the weekend of August 23, 24, & 25, 2002, for a Girl Scout 90th Birthday celebration.
(Alternative dates August 16, 17, & 18, 2002) We are planning on having 300 to 500 Girl
Scouts attend this celebration. These girls and adults will be from across the 30 Western
counties of Montana
Your town of Kalispell will benefit from this event in the following ways:
Girl Scout troops attending will be purchasing perishable goods from your town.
We will need to contract out porta-potties from your area for the event.
We will need to contract out ice deliveries or pick ups from one of your local ice
businesses.
Troops attending will be shopping at your local stores while in your area
Some troops will be taking advantage of other attractions in your area (water slides, the
maze, etc.)
We will have a massive clean up at the park before checking out on Sunday, leaving the
park cleaner that when we arrived!
Please consider our request and let us know if this request will be possible.
Please feel free to contact me at our office if you have questions.
Sincerely,
C R w...,
