PUBLIC IMAGE STATEMENT
An organization's public image is created by what is consistently
said, observed and produced by its board and staff. Leadership and
public relations work together, producing an overall image.
Realizing this, the development of a public image statement is an
important step for the Community Foundation. When adopted, this
statement can be a foundation for future public relations efforts
and policies.
To develop the public image statement we ask that each board
member complete the following questions.
I would like the Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation to be
known for:

of cash and in-kind donations made this year to the Community Services
Department. She stated that most of these donations are earmarked for specific
events, and with the City's growth it greatly impacts what the Community Services

to how the fundraising should be handled, and what kind of support the Foundation
will need from Community Services.
Boardmember Dutton stated he felt the Foundation should support Community
Services' entire program, as presented, but that the Foundation needed to come
up with a fundraising program first.
Boardmember Mannerino stated he felt the Foundation needed to put together a
solicitation package. However, he felt the Board should only raise funds for
two or three Community Services events. He suggested that the Board submit a
list of the amounts needed for the events the donors would be supporting, and

Mission and Goals of the Foundation
The Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation was formed in April 1987 to promote
cultural arts in Rancho Cucamonga. The mission of the Foundation is to develop,
through inter-actions with the community, a plan for meeting the cultural needs
of the city and promote and support the recreational and human service
activities within the city; to identify ezisting resources directed to those
needs; to encourage and assist other groups within the city or region that are
addressing various areas of need; to involve the total community in meeting the
identified needs and to direct and/or coordinate fundraising and "friendraising"
efforts in support of facilities or programs designed to meet those needs.
The goals of the Foundation are to educate the community on the place of
cultural programs in our lives, to assist in providing facilities for carrying
out cultural activities, to sponsor programs that enhance the quality of life
and assist other groups in this effort, to coordinate efforts of groups to
maximize effectiveness and avoid duplication, and to sponsor programs in the
cultural or humanities fields.
Application
The Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation will accept applications on a once a
year basis. All applications can then be given equal consideration. When

Dear Mrs. Mickey:
The upcoming 1989-90 basketball season at Chaffey College has all the makings of our
most successful year ever!
We are making a concerted effort to recruit the local kids and to do our very best at
keeping them home. We feel that we will be able to give back to the community of
Rancho Cucamonga the pride of having a quality athletic program. The three
sophomores that are currently in our program will all graduate on time and will go on
to the four-year level.
Every year, I plan on taking my kids to a different part of the country to play. This year
it will be Prescott, Arizona. Next year it could possibly be the East Coast. We are
currently trying to raise funds for our Arizona trip which will be during the Thanksgiving
holidays. The entire cost of our trip will be around $1,500.00 (lodging and meals for 20
people). I would personally appreciate any support that the City of Rancho Cucamonga
could give us.
I appreciate your interest and support and look forward to seeing you during the
upcoming season.
Sincerely,
CHAFFEY COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Dear Team Member ,
The upcoming 1989-90 season at Chaffey Community College has all
the makings of our most successful year ever .
Our preseason schedule includes five tournaments with the season
getting underway on November 9 . The Panthers will travel not only
to Prescott , Arizona to play in the prestigious Yavapi tournament ,
but to Mt . San Antonio , Rancho Santiago, Riverside , and on
December 28 and 29 will host the Chaffey Classic to conclude the
preseason schedule .
Our basketball conference , the Foothill Conference , has been
called by many as one of the most competitive community college
conferences in California , as you can see from the enclosed copy
of our 1989-90 schedule .
Our number one priority, as the program continues to develop, is
to generate increased support from alumni and the community to
help fund our basketball program. Our goal for the year ' s
fund-raiser is to receive support from at least 100 individuals ,
businesses and corporations . Your support is vital to the present
and future success of basketball at Chaffey. Time is now of the
essence in our effort ; therefore , I hope you are willing to be
able to become "one of one hundred" .
I appreciate your interest and support and look forward to seeing
you during our upcoming season.
Sincerely,

DATE: September 7 , 1989
TO: Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation Board of Directors
FROM: Susan Mickey, Administrative Aide
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE ARTS
FOUNDATION OF SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Board of Directors consider a request by the Arts
Foundation of San Bernardino County for financial support in the amount of
$1,500.
Background/Analysis:
Staff was contacted by Patti Pate, Program Director of the Arts Foundation of
San Bernardino, as to the possibility of securing a donation from the City of
Rancho Cucamonga. Ms. Pate requested to speak to the City Council regarding the
funding for the Foundation. The City Council felt that, although they support
the goals of the Arts Foundation of San Bernardino County, the donation might be
more appropriate coming from the Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation and
requested Ms. Pate to make an application to the Foundation.
Respectfully Submitted,

Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board of Directors:
Thank you for this opportunity to extend a partnership in the arts by our
request for $1,500 to partially underwrite the costs of one residency in
the schools or a community setting in Rancho Cucamonga this year under our
"Partners in Arts Education" program.
This program has been offered in six schools in Rancho Cucamonga in the past
two years, employs artists for two weeks to work in the schools with teachers
and youngsters and is endorsed and applauded by the California Arts Council
and elementary principals Dave Soden and Pat Hatcher. The program meets an
unmet need in art education and presents the arts within a framework of
understanding for self-expression, skills development and aesthetic
appreciation. Our program reaches across many ages and promotes a healthier
self image for improved self-esteem for all participants.
If funding is granted, we will acknowledge the support of the Rancho
Cucamonga Community Foundation in all publications regarding the residency
your grant funds supported.
Thank you for providing this opportunity to make a request for such a
successful program that is already an important service to its participants.

Dear Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation Board of
Directors:
At the September 6, 1989 City Council meeting, Ms. Patti-
Pate, Program Director for the Arts Foundation of San Ber-
nardino County, made a request for financial support in the
amount of $1, 500 to provide partial funding for programs
presented in Rancho Cucamonga. It was the general consensus
of the Council that Ms. Pate should make application to the
Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation.
While the Council supports the goals of the Arts Foundation
and appreciates all of the valuable work they do in Rancho
Cucamonga, we feel that the most appropriate venue for this
donation is through the Rancho Cucamonga Community Founda-
tion.
On behalf of the Rancho Cucamonga City Council, I would like
to urge your support of this very worthwhile program, which
benefits the citizens of Rancho Cucamonga.
S ' rely,
I

DATE: October 3, 1989
TO: Rancho Cucamonga Community Foundation Board of Directors
FROM: Susan Mickey, Administrative Aide, rk
SUBJECT: Non-Certified Financial Statement
Per direction from the Board, Staff made inquiries at the firms of Ernst &
Young, Inland Tax Group and from an independent CPA (Walter Norris) as to the
cost of doing a non-certified financial statement and the tax returns for the
Foundation. Mike Mitchell , of Inland Tax Group, gave a quote of $600 and stated
that the normal fee for those services would range closer to $1,000. Mike
Rasmussen , of Ernst & Young, felt that due to the close ties between the
Foundation and William Courtney of that firm, it might be considered unethical
to do the statement. He also stated that the quote from Mike Mitchell was lower
than what their firm would be able to do. Mr. Norris declined the offer to
submit a quote as he had never audited a non-profit organization and felt he
would not be qualified to do the statement.
After a phone poll of the Board, who agreed Mr. Mitchell should do the financial
statement, staff contacted Mike Mitchell and asked that he do the statement and
tax forms. Mr. Mitchell agreed to the arrangement.

RE: Model Furniture Auction q�-�t
Dear Jeanne:
Please consider this letter as a formal offer on
behalf of The William Lyon Company to donate "Victoria"
model furniture, which we presently have in storage, to the
Ccrmnnity Foundation.
The Foundation will be authorized to sell the
furniture by means of an auction or simply a furniture sale.
The only requirement that The William Lyon Company
would have is that the proceeds be used solely for some type
of an art object, such as a sculpture, stained glass window
or painting, that would be placed on the grounds or in the
new Rancho Cucamonga City Hall. We would further request
that an errployee of The William Lycra Company be included in
the artwork selection committee for this purpose.
With the Foundations acceptance of this offer, we can
proceed with working out the details.
Very truly yours,
James F. Bailey

"Local corporations have long rec-

claims council Executive Director
Lynn N.Cahill. "We're finding that
businesses are pleased to express

In Indianapolis, Mayor William
H. Hudnut III has spurred an all-
out effort to promote the city's
amenities. The result is top profes-
sional sports and arts organiza-
tions, including the National Foot-
ball League Colts,lured from Balti-
more some years ago,and the Indi-
anapolis Symphony.
Indicative of the importance of
the arts is the use of the symphony
in the city's drive to woo leading
_ businesses to establish "back" or
satellite offices in the city. Last
November the mayor and local tour-
ism and economic officials accom-
panied the symphony to New York
and invited several hundred corpo-
• -- rate leaders to the orchestra's Car-
negie Hall performance. "The Indi-

at Carnegie Hall was an ideal op-
portunity to showcase one of our
