SUBJECT: POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE'S ANNUAL
THANKSGIVING BASKET PROGRAM
This Letter to the Commission is to advise the Mayor and City Commission of the annual Miami
Beach Police Athletic League's Thanksgiving Basket Program.
The Miami Beach Police Athletic League (PAL) is once again providing Thanksgiving baskets to
400 Miami Beach families in need. PAL works together with the schools on Miami Beach,
collecting nonperishable items and canned goods to help fill the baskets.
PAL has always included fresh produce (onions, celery, potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers,
carrots, apples, oranges) and whatever fresh items that it was able to purchase at reasonable
prices. In addition, bread, rice, cranberry sauce, an 8-10 pound turkey and anything in the way of
cakes or sweets are provided.
The cost for this annual event is approximately $6,000 ($15 per basket). PAL is asking all of its
friends in the community to help sponsor this worthwhile project. Delivery of food baskets will
take place at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 23, 1999 at Nautilus Middle School, 4301 N.
Michigan Avenue.
If any member of the Commission would like to volunteer, you are more than welcomed. If any
member of the Commission would like additional information, please contact Bernie Winer,
Executive Director of PAL at (305) 673-7776 ext. 5305.
