Edelcup, Mayor <br /> 18070 Collins Avenue <br /> Sunny Isles Beach,Fl 33160 <br /> Dear Mayor Edelcup, <br /> After ten years of research, documentation, writing and editing, I am excited that <br /> my book,Baker's Haulover-A Maritime Treasure of History and Pioneers is almost <br /> ready for publication. This history deals with the Baker whom I researched as the <br /> namesake of this site (1804), its first charter boat captains (and those at Sunny Isles), <br /> speedboat drivers and other first pioneers on this land in North Miami Beach along with <br /> certain celebrities that visited there. <br /> Just as the State of Florida Haulover Historical Marker (2004) that I helped <br /> establish, is the only marker, out of 500 in the state for a fishing dock, so this book is the <br /> only one on the subject of Baker's Haulover and its charter boat captains. More than one <br /> chapter is about early Sunny Isles. (Thank you and your staff for assisting me in my <br /> research in the past.) <br /> I'm asking for your support in my efforts to meet the huge publication costs of <br /> this historical,first edition, commemorative hardback book, in order to preserve this <br /> period of Miami's history and the legacy of this 'site for Florida. Your monetary <br /> contribution will entitle you to a dedication line at the front of the book for the City of <br /> Sunny Isles Beach. <br /> Enclosed are some commentaries by respected historians and writers concerning <br /> the 430 pages and over 500 images, the Table of Contents and the inside back flap. <br /> Barry University President in Miami Shores, Sister Linda Belvilacqua, OP, PhD. <br /> and Florida Senator Gwen Margolis, have told me to plan for first book signings at the <br /> Barry campus and the Miami Beach City Hall. Would you consider a book signing in the <br /> ity of Sunn Isl ach? <br /> C <br /> Can I anticipate your remittance in one of the categories named below? As I am <br /> anxious to move ahead, you will have the opportunity to join me if you respond by <br /> September 11, 2012. (This is the time frame I must adhere to for printing.) <br /> Platinum Anchor Captains - $5,000: name on the Benefactor page, two <br /> autographed copies, a commemorative Benefactor certificate with your name,five <br /> collectible postcards of early Haulover and a DVD with 50 images not found in <br /> the book. p,�, <br /> Agenda'Iteem <br /> Date j- « <br />
