BACKGROUND Critical to the continued development of Toys On Parade , both in terms of major financial sponsorship and continued organization of a volunteer structure , is a continued and improved relation- ship with the Santa Ana corporate community. We support a staff recommendation that this be accomplished by forming an advisory committee composed of corporate and community leaders . The formation of a Mayor ' s Toys On Parade Executive Committee would involve you, as Mayor, appointing an Honorary Parade Chairperson , and then inviting the 1986 major parade sponsors , together with the CEO ' s of selected major Santa Ana corporations to become involved as members for a two year term. The function of the Mayor ' s Toys On Parade Executive Committee and of the Honorary Parade Chairperson would be strictly advisory and serve the sole purpose of gaining corporate community support for this growing parade . Once the commitment of top level corporate and community leaders has been attained , they will be asked to support the parade by providing key management personnel to help fill positions within the volunteer structure and various other resources to the Toys On Parade program. These resources might include: advertising the parade in corporate newsletters ; providing meals for volunteers ; and hosting visiting dignitaries. The Toys On Parade Executive Committee as proposed will meet three times a year. Suggested events include: Spring Theme Announcement Luncheon : Mayor and the Honorary Chairperson would outline the program and seek the commitment of the attendees . - NE• tj Fall Mayor ' s Parade Preview: Mayor and Honorary Chairperson would update the committee on parade activities.
