I am in the process of sending the letter found on the acsrelay.orgpage titled Sample Letter to City Council or Mayor. In the body of the letter it says "However, before proceeding in this fashion, we want to ensure that we have the Township’s blessing and we hope that you will consider enacting a Relay Proclamation to include a one-night noise ordinance abatement. I have enclosed a sample proclamation for your review."
I have not been able to find that sample proclamation to send to our Mayor.
Does anyone have it or know where to find what I need for the one-night noise ordinance proclamation?
I just came across your post dated October 2007, so you may have already found what you needed. Here's something that I sent to our Mayor:
February 13, 2007
Mayor Darlene Kordonowy 280 Madison Avenue Bainbridge Island, WA98110
Dear Mayor Kordonowy:
I am the event co-chair for our second annual Relay For Life of Bainbridge Island, a signature event of the American Cancer Society. This year’s event will be held at the BainbridgeIslandHigh School track on July 28th & 29th.I speak not only for myself but the entire Relay committee and the countless number of Relay volunteers when I say that we are really looking forward to this year’s event!
As you may already know, Relay is an overnight event - a celebration - that honors cancer survivors, remembers those who have lost their battles with cancer, and a real team effort to walk around a track throughout the night, “Relay” style, while raising awareness and funds in the fight against cancer.
In preparation for this year’s event and with the desire of making it even more of a success this year, we are hoping that the City will assist us with the following items.
We would be honored if you would consider enacting a Relay Proclamation, declaring July 28th & 29th, 2007 “Relay for Life of Bainbridge Island Days.”I have enclosed a sample proclamation for your review;
We hope you will consider a one night noise ordinance abatement.In true Relay fashion, during the event on July 28th and 29th, we would like to be able to schedule continued entertainment throughout the night.While we will not schedule any loud or noisy entertainment after midnight, we are considering showing a midnight movie, as well as some other more mellow late-night activities;
We also hope that you will consider coming out to speak during the opening ceremonies of Relay on July 28th at 4:00 pm.
We invite you to attend our Relay Kick-Off event on February 25th at 4:00 pm, at the Senior Center Commons.We will have food, games, entertainment, and information on what Relay is about.
Once you have had an opportunity to review and consider the foregoing, please feel free to contact me at the number or e-mail address listed above. I would be happy to meet with you to discuss any questions or concerns you might have. In the meantime, please feel free visit out our website at: www.acsevents.org/relay/wa/bainbridgeisland to learn more about our event.
Every American has the potential to get cancer and every American has the potential to cure cancer. Thank you again for your support
Very truly yours,
Terri Segadelli
Event Co-Chair, Relay For Life of BainbridgeIsland (insert phone number)

I've messed around with the font size, etc., so I could squeeze it in here. It doesn't look as nice here, but it will give you an idea. There should be an underline above the Mayor's name where she signs. I hope this helps.
Good luck!
