Our 102nd Year
Mayor Ivan Allen
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia 30303
Dear Mayor Allen:
The Atlanta Jaycees plan to sponsor and conduct a "political rally"
October 3, 1969 between 12:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. in Plaza Park for all
candidates for mayor, vice mayor and alderman. While we seek participa-
tion in this event of the vice mayor candidate(s) and aldermanic candidates,
the principal emphasis will be for those officially announced candidates
that would like very much to be your successor in office.
This event will be promoted as the last chance to publicly speak with
the mayoralty candidates and ask them questions. It will primarily be a
question and answer forum. Also, we plan to promote the importance to
the Atlanta Area of this election with particular accentuation of the in-
dividual's responsibility to his city government.
We, in the Atlanta Jaycees, are acutely aware of our civic respon-
sibility and want to work actively towards improving the social and
governmental environment in which we live. We seek constructive involve-
ment in the affairs of government and through this "political rally" we
hope to stress the importance of this years mayor's race. By exposing
the general public to the candidates we feel as if we will be serving
our city by encouraging more citizens to vote, and hopefully for the can-
didate that can best serve Atlanta, as you have so ably done during the
past eight years Mayor Allen.
I am chairman of the Jaycee's Political Rally Committee, and re-
sponsible for the "rally" I have been discussing. I would like very
much to have the opportunity to discuss with you at your convenience
this affair for the mayoralty election, and also a governmental liason
effort that our Governmental Affairs Committee is in the process of or-
ganizing. Your thoughts and ideas would be very valuable to us Mayor
Allen, and we solicit them.
Respectively,
/ Oe
