Mr. Larry Beaulieu KFDM-TV Channel 6 P.O. Box 7128 Beaumont. TX 77726

Dear &@??r. eauli u:

Thank you for your corporate sponsorship with Lamar Athletics. Your help this past year enabled Lamar to win three team championships and assisted in several outstanding individual accomplishments, including three student-athletes earning Southland Conference Player of the Year honors.

Our baseball team dominated the Southland, winning the regular season title and advancing to the championship game of the NCAA Regional Tournament in Austin. The Cardinals defeated the NCAA National Champion Rice Owls twice during the season and finished the year ranked 22ndin the nation.

On the links, our men's and women's golf teams both won conference championships. Chris Stroud, a senior-to-be from Groves, was named conference player of the year for the third straight year and finished third at the NCAA National Championships. Our current success would not be possible without the support we received fkom KFDM-TV Channel 6.

Our goal is to be the best overall athletic program in the Southland Conference and be able to compete nationally in each of our 14 intercollegiate sports. For this goal to be realized, our athletic department must be financially secure and superior to our competing universities. Your corporate sponsorship will help us to retain the types of student-athletes and coaches that enable us to be conference champions.

Thank you for your commitment to Lamar Athletics and for your generosity toward our vision to be the best.

Since71y, i

President

Dear Public Service Director,

It is with enormous gratitude that we write to thank you for your station’s support of our 2002- 2003 public service announcement, “Corner.” On behalf of all of us at the Al-Anon Family Group Headquarters, Inc. and the families and friends of alcoholics whom we serve, please know that your broadcasts of our PSAs have made a difference.

In the past year, we have seen an increase in the number of stations and airplays of our PSAs, and a corresponding increase in the number of phone calls to our toll-he meeting information number (1-888-4AL-ANON or 1-888-425-2666). Our operators provide meeting information for callers from throughout the United States and Canada. We appreciate your participation in helping us to cany our message to those who still suffer.

For over 52 years Al-Anon Family Groups have been offering hope and support to those who are impacted by another person’s drinking. We do not seek outside funding, and have no dues or fees. Our only purpose is to help families and friends of alcoholics. Most communities have Al-Anon (and Alateen for younger members) groups; all are maintained by Al-Anon volunteers. It is through the support of community-minded organizations, such as your station, that we are able to make the public aware of our fellowship and the support it can offer.

Again, it is with sincere gratitude that we say “thank you” for airing our “Corner” PSA. We will continue to provide you with quality public service announcements, and hope that you will continue to air them. We are delighted to include your station in our Al-Anon “family.”

With all best wishes,

Dear Larry,

As you know, KVLU was awarded second place in the public service announcement category at the recent Press Club of Southeast Texas annual competition. As this was a joint project between KFDM and KVLU, I just wanted to thank you and your staff for helping us to make the PSA a reality by producing and airing it on Channel 6.

In particular, credit must go to Gina Hinson and Maine mauve. Their professionalism, creative input, and enthusiasm for the project made it a winner.

For KVLU to thrive, we must continue to raise awareness about public radio, and the PSA has met with great success. In return, we continue to acknowledge KFDM on our airwaves as an underwriter.

Larry, it is partnerships such as the one we have established with KFDM that strengthen the mission of local public radio stations like KVLU. Again, please accept our thanks and gratitude for the generous support you and your staff have given us throughout our years of service.

Best regards, 4

Dear Channel 6 Challenge Staff and Business Partners:

On behalf of my Challenge students, I want to thank you for several things.

First, the commitment of time and talent that it takes to broadcast the Channel 6 Challenge in the fall is so much appreciated by ALL the area schools and their scholars. Were it not for this contest, the whiz kids would get very little exposure or limelight. I know that time and TV space for the show take much programming prepamtion, and that you could just as easily have another program during that 30 minutes, but I am so very gmteful that you are committed to sponsoring academic excellence.

Second, thank you for the delicious banquet that you provide every year for all the Challenge contestants, their parents, and the coaches. The 8" floor of the librury is such an elegant setting, and the students always look forward to sharing that evening with their parents and their hosts every year. Thank you for ending the competition season on such a gracious note. I can speak for all the coaches, too, in saying thank you for the lovely centerpieces that you give to us each year.

Last, but certainty not least, thank you for the most generous scholarship of $l,OOO for each student, including the alternate. This is such a magnanimous award, and the challenge students are so happy to have tangible proof that knowledge is per. The trophies are wonderful, too, and the large one for the school now resides in the trophy case in the front office next to two other Channel 6 Challenge trophies we have previously won.

I look forward to another year of exciting academic challenge this fall. I have been with you from the start-16 years is it?-and I hope to continue as the Academic Team Coach for Bridge City High School for many more years. After thirty-two years in the classroom, I often think about retiring, but how can I leave the Challenge when it's so much fun for me and so profitable for my students?

Most sincerely, --

Dear Mr. McKinnon:

You are invited to attend a very important meeting on Thursday, August 3 I, 2OOU at 9:UU a.m. in my office in the Jack Brooks Federal Building, Suite 322. This meeting is being held to determine who will be participating in the Southeast Texas Crime Stoppers child abduction alert system and to join me in our efforts to finalize plans to implement this alert system.

The plan, when implemented, will be called Save Our Kids, S.O.K, and is designed after The Amber Plan. As you know this is an emergency child abduction alert plan in which radio and television stations provide quick, police-generated reports on abducted children as a public service. Named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman of Arlington, Texas, who was kidnapped and killed in January 1996, the plan allows investigators to quickly spread the word to the public when a child is determined to be missing.

During this meeting on Thursday, August 3 Is', Jimmy Steele, Chief Engineer with Cumulus Broadcasting Inc., will explain the technical workings of the plan and answer any questions you may have. Thanks to Stephan Oubre, President of Mid and South Jefferson County Crime Stoppers, for his tireless efforts in organizing the S.O.K. alert plan in our area. Stephan will give an overview of the alert plan. I urge you to attend this meeting so we may finalize and put into action a system that we all hope we will never have to use - but will be there to assist us in a time of crisis shoirld one of our children ever be abducted

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this meeting. Please notify Mary Kirkwood in my office, or a member of my staff, at (409)838-0061or toll free (888)838-0061 of your plans to attend this important meeting. I look forward to seeing you.

RE: Air for the Elderly Campaign

Dear Mr. McKinnon,

WOW!!! What a great program! The Air for the Elderly turned out fantastic this year. We were able to service in the Beaumont area alone close to 200 families. Total for the Golden Triangle is over 300.

This year we were able to generate from our unit approximately $3,000.00 and gave out 13 air conditioners and over 180 fans.

We are all aware of the tremendous heat we had this summer and how if affected our community. With the help of Channel 12 KBMT and our giving friends we gave some comfort to those who needed a little extra relief.

Your support in this program is greatly appreciated and we look forward to a continued relationship with you and your staff in the future. Again thank you.

May God bless you. Sincerely,

Dear Elizabeth West,

I am writing to thank you for providing Hurricane Tracking Charts for the participant packets of the ghAnnual Super CPR Saturday held on 15 July 2000. Your contribution helped us provide a very important tool for each class participant.

Through this event the Beaumont Chapter of the American Red Cross trained and certified 3 13 area residents in Adult CPR. The class provided lifesaving skills training to persons in our community who otherwise might not have been able to afford it. Participants received training to -1 help an individual who is choking (conscious or unconscious), is not breathing, or whose heart has stopped beating.

On hand to train participants were 55 CPR Instructor Volunteers. There were 1 1 non-instructor Volunteers who supported this event in a myriad of other ways from registration to setting up the Volunteer Break Room with snacks and lunch. The day flowed smoothly for the 4 Red Cross staff members with the help of 10 Volunteer Pages aged fourteen to sixteen.

If you have any questions about how our community is served by the Red Cross, please let me know. Thanks again for your generous support of Red Cross services to families in our community.

Sincerely,

Dear Fred,

Thank you for featuring this year's Fill the Boot campaigns on the KBMT-Channel12 news program. It was a pleasure visiting with you, and we look forward to working with you and your wonderful team throughout the year.

As you may know, for over 45 years, the IAFF in partnership with MDA has conducted Fill the Boot campaigns in an ongoing effort to eradicate neuromuscular disease. This year's Fill the Boot campaigns have raised over $49,000, enabling MDA to continue a comprehensive program of support sewices including clinics, wheelchair and leg brace assistance, summer camp, and most importantly research into cures and treatment for forty muscle wasting diseases. It is a cause we believe in and we are grateful to you for acknowledging its importance and the dedication and selflessness of these remarkable men and women. I

Again, on behalf of those we serve.....thanks for caring!

Sincerely, A
