EVENT SPONSORSHIPS To whom it may concern: The City of Tahlequah is fortunate to be named the host city for the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops this coming July. Collaborating with Northeastern State University and the Cherokee Nation, Tour Tahlequah is hard at work to ensure we are the best host city Bassmaster has encountered. We can achieve the highest level of efficiency, effectiveness and overall experience with your help. We have received a large donation from the Cherokee Nation and are working closely with them. We are working diligently with NSU for banquet facilities, dorm rooms, parking for the anglers and weigh-in areas. The Holiday Inn has agreed to be our host hotel. The City of Tahlequah is in full support of this event, and we are currently working with emergency services, fire, police, etc. to ensure the quality of safety for our guests. The Greater Tenkiller Area Association is proud to offer Cherokee Landing as the anglers' point of entrance to Lake Tenkiller. We are moving forward quickly, though there will still be many areas of monetary support and volunteers needed. The enclosed information will show what levels of sponsorship are available, minimal host responsibilities and an overall view of the week. We are looking to secure many items beyond this list, as well, and I would enjoy speaking with you more regarding these needs. I appreciate your willingness to support this once-in-lifetime event to put Tahlequah on the world map. Warm regards, Mercedes Goins Tour Tahlequah Interim Assistant Director
