Please stay in touch with our city's food factory, our homeless centers, and community agencies where people seek relief from 165 days out of the year and from the bitter cold maybe 50 or 60 days out of the year.

On behalf of all those in need and on behalf of this great city, I send Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year.

Thank you.

The land of the free and the home of the brave.

Thank you.

Mayor of Washington, it's a real pleasure to present you for the City of Chicago a check of just over $8 ,000 to clean this beautiful statue.

This represents five cents a package for a bit over 160 ,000 packages of Bonami products that Chicagoans have bought between August 1 and December 31, 1983 as we agreed last summer.

Also because it represents something very significant.

You are a Kansas City -bound based corporation doing business in Chicago, but you recognize and you personified in this gift to us that you understand that you are a good neighbor, that you are part of this great city, that this city can only grow and develop if it has the cooperation of organizations, corporations such as yours and others.

So for that reason and many others, I want to thank you deeply on behalf of the people of safe Chicago, on behalf of this particular neighborhood for your more than generous effort.

I don't know how much Bonami it will take to clean that statue, but whatever it takes, I'm certain it will have more than is enough.
