December 14, 2006 <br />Mike Gibson, Chairman <br />Members of the Rio Grande Basin Roundtable <br />415 San Juan Ave <br />Alamosa, CO 81101 <br />Dear Mike and Roundtable Members: <br />The Monte Vista Historical Society wishes to submit a grant application for funding from <br />the Water Supply Reserve Account. We would ask the Rio Grande Basin Roundtable to <br />consider this application. The Monte Vista Historical Society is exempt from Federal <br />Income Tax under section 501(c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The EIN # is 74- <br />2617945. <br />The Monte Vista Historical Society will enter into a contract with CWCB to carry out the <br />requirements of the grant. The Committee for ?100 Years of San Luis Valley <br />Reservoirs? Celebration will assume all responsibilities of executing all of the provisions <br />required to fulfill the contract. <br />The enclosed application will spell out the goals that the Committee plans to achieve, the <br />means by which these goals are to be achieved, and how this Celebration will help to <br />reach some of the objectives set out in SWSI, and in Colorado Revised Statute 37-75-104 <br />Section II (C & D), and Colorado Revised Statute 37-75-106 and Colorado Revised <br />Statute 39 ? 29 ? 109 Section I (D). It also meets the guiding principle of House Joint <br />Resolution 03-1019 Part 10. <br />Education of people in the San Luis Valley, other Colorado citizens, and the wider Rio <br />Grande Basin form the basic motivation for this Celebration. An informed public will <br />make far better decisions for present water situations and for those of the future. <br />The Celebration, as outlined within the application, is designed to educate on several <br />levels. It will include a widely distributed Video/DVD, a traveling exhibit, a full day <br />symposium entitled ?Water Storage in the Rio Grande Basin: The Past, The Present, and <br />The Future,? and very notable speakers at the banquet and other Celebration events. <br />Attached is a Budget for the Celebration identifying funding needs, other sources of <br />support, and a request for funds from the Water Supply Reserve Account in the amount <br />of $13,000. <br />Thank you very much for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />Peg Schall, Treasurer <br />Monte Vista Historical Society <br />P.O. Box 323 <br />Monte Vista, CO 81144 <br />719-852-2490 <br />
