Chavez Committee members have plans to solicit support at the upcoming Cristo Rey Church Fiesta over the Memorial Day weekend. Thank you for your attention in this matter and please feel free to contact me at (517) 749-0181. Sincerely, �ea &Reyes, Chair The Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee attachments i May 11,2010 3 Lansing City Council Members 10t'Floor City Hall 124 W. Michigan Ave. Lansing,MI 48933 Dear City Council, My naive is Pablo Maldonado, owner of Pablo's' Restaurant 311 E. Grand River St. Lansing,MI., and I am writing this letter in support of changing Grand River Ave. (commencing at Oakland St., and ending at Pine St, and W. Grand River Ave.)to Cesar E. Chavez Ave. The street will serve to honor a great labor leader, and humanitarian. Cesar E. Chavez humanitarian efforts have reclaimed dignity, fair wages and human living conditions for millions of farm workers in America. Americans,today continue to eat healthier fruits and vegetables because of his efforts to reduce the use of high level toxic pesticides in our food sources that I use daily in my restaurant. Workers continue to benefit from his efforts to obtain fair wages, decent housing,and most of all dignity for American Farm workers. Currently,the following cities in Michigan have a street named after Cesar E. Chavez, Saginaw,Flint,Bay City,Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Pontiac. It would be great also for the Capital City of Michigan to have a street named after this great American Humanitarian. Another factor to rename that part of Grand River Avenue,would be a remedy for the confusion of the street directions (north, east, and west),promote revenue to the business district and most importantly honor he-memory of Cesar E. Chavez. ice\ Sincerely, Pablo Maldon Cb ' ti Owner pf. abl estaurant Cc. Qld Rewn Business Association Cv/-Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez Committee r% I V EID) May 12,2010 Lansing,City Council 1061Floor City Hall 124 W. Michigan Ave. Lansing, I\E 48933 Dear City Council Members, First of all I would like you all to know that I have owned and continue operating my tailoring business for 25 plus year located at 1219 E. Grand River Avenue. When I first heard of the efforts of a group of people wanting to change the street to Cesar E. Chavez Avenue,I was a very displeased. Well,I started to attend the meetings the group invited me to and realized that Cesar E. Chavez,was a hard working man,who stood up for people rights,that had no voice. Currently, my business is in the location where there has been no effort from the city in restoring the buildings. Hopefully,by taking the action of renaming the street after Cesar E. Chavez it will help my business and the surrounding businesses to get more acknowledgements being on a street that means so much to the community. I have changed my views and have realized it is time for change and I personally think a street will educate people as it did me. Mr. Chavez was a great humanitarian and also a US Navel veteran who served our country well and I am a veteran of the US Air force.

CC-Old Towti Business Association _ T=— i Old Town Hair Salon To Old Town Business Association, I would like to meet with you to discuss why I am supporting the street name change from E. Grand River to Cesar E. Chavez Street. In my business it has caused a lot of confusion,because within a mile radius we have E. Grand River,W. Grand River,N. Grand River and Grand River Ave. and then you also have E. Grand River in East Lansing, in which a lot of my deliveries get sent to the wrong E. Grand River! By changing the street name to Cesar E. Chavez Ave. I think it would help our businesses, customers,mailmen,UPS, and utility companies and many others. This would be a change that would be good for all. Mr. Cesar E. Chavez was a great American Navy Officer, and a great union leader and we are all living a better life today because of him! If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 517-908-0220.
