Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.

City Hall

Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Dan:

Many individuals and communities have long requested

a document which would explain to them the nature of

an urban coalition, its goals and some of the activities
it should be involved in. I am enclosing five copies

of an offset edition of our new publication "An Urban
Coalition in Your Community."

I believe this document will be of interest to members

of your community because it explains how a coalition is
organized, what leadership elements should be involved,

a small sampling of local coalition activities around the
country and a brief statement on the kinds of assistance
local coalitions may expect from the national office.
Printed editions of this document will be available in
mid-September and you may order through me as many copies
as you feel necessary.

Sincerely,
/,



ssociate Director
Local Coalition Staff
