Huizar, Maria <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br />Subject: <br />style4sight@gmail.com on behalf of Julia T <br />Thursday, June 07, 2012 12:04 PM <br />Huizar, Maria <br />In support of Downtown Inc. <br />- OCFA <julia@ocfashionassociation.com> <br />Dear Mrs. Huizar, <br />My name is Julia Tudor. I am the President and Founder of the OC Fashion Association. <br />The OCFA is a non-profit organization that supports emerging fashion talent in <br />Orange County and aims to liven up the almost non-existent Orange County fashion <br />scene through various fashion related events such as the popular OC FASHION WEEK, <br />mixers, exhibits, media productions and even public fashion flash mobs. <br />I am writing to you on behalf of my organization in regards to Downtown Inc. to share <br />my outmost appreciation for their outstanding efforts. We had the pleasure of working <br />with them last year and we hope to work again soon in bringing more fashion to <br />Downtown. <br />It was because of Downtown Inc's help with our first fashion show last year that OCFA <br />kept coming back and had 7 more other events in Santa Ana, including the branded OC <br />FASHION WEEKs events. Downtown Inc's support for our new organization was and still <br />is invaluable to us in ensuring successful fashion events. With their help we were able to <br />put on great fashion shows unparallel to anything seen in Orange County before and to <br />this day these shows are being hailed by the media and fashion enthusiasts in Orange <br />County, Los Angeles and San Diego! <br />Downtown Inc. helped us tremendously in navigating the right channels to obtain <br />permits, they made the connections we needed with the business in Downtown, lend us <br />prepping rooms, security for our events, and sponsored our May 26 event last year <br />among many other things. Please, take a minute to watch these two videos of last's <br />year's OC FASHOON WEEK which took place outdoors on the 2nd Street Promenade in <br />front of the Grand Central Art Center featuring four fall/winter designer collections. <br />http://youtu.be/7n 15hx7zVU , <br />http://vimeo.com/24100733# <br />Without Downtown Inc.s' help none of our events would have been possible simply <br />because not enough resources would have been at our disposal to make our small and <br />large production events a reality otherwise. Their board of directors and the amazing <br />staff are very passionate people who are obviously extremely determined to help the <br />community and revive the Downtown despite all criticisms and alligations by those who <br />do not believe in its mission. But we believe that their efforts and dedication, many <br />times going beyond normal office hours, will eventually prevail. <br />They work effortlessly to put Downtown Santa Ana on the map again, and we trust, <br />this is no easy job. We are truly inspired by their determination to work against all adds, <br />85A-13
