Honorable John Okura
Mayor of Hudson
City Hall
2554 Main St.
Hudson, MI 49236

Dear Mayor Okura:

Custom Research Services is honored to be considered as the site for such a significant event as your upcoming fundraiser. We are always delighted to have outside interest in our company and appreciate your selecting our organization to help you achieve your campaign goals.

Finding a site that can satisfy all catering needs and has the right ambience for over 150 people can be very challenging. Our organization appreciates your generous offer; however, we strive to remain neutral in all political, social, and business affairs. In order to offer equal support for all organizations and individuals, the mission statement of Custom Research Services states “our company will refrain from placing a greater importance on any one organization.”

I would like to recommend two locations that may have the qualities you are seeking. Covanentar Gardens and the Commons are two venues that not only have a beautiful landscape, but they both are equally capable of accommodating the turnout that you are expecting. Both sites have held extravagant social functions in the past, and I’m sure they would be more than honored to serve your cause.

In the future, Custom Research Services would be honored to possibly host events that pertain to the city of Hudson as long as the event is held inside one of our resource centers. We wish you the best of luck with your campaign, and we wish you success in locating the facilities you need for your fundraiser.

Sincerely,

Chris Vanderson
Owner, President
