Dear Mayor Fierberg:

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me in your office last August 19, 2002. I enjoyed meeting you, Mr. Shuel Dorfman and Mr. Rony Ikar.
During our time together, I invited you to visit Orange County, New York. We would be honored to have you. Very briefly, Orange County is the home for West Point Military Academy, Woodbury Commons factory outlet shopping village, and very significantly, the oldest Jewish owned and built home in North America called the Gomez Mill House. My home community of Middletown is noteworthy for our downtown public library and Orange County Community College. I would be delighted to arrange an opportunity for you to address our community as well as introduce you to the County Executive, the Orange County Legislature, and other local officials including our county’s mayors.
I have included some brochures that accent many of the highlights of Orange County mentioned above.

Furthermore, I would be honored to welcome you as a call-in guest on my weekly radio news show on WTBQ 1100 AM. Please contact me, if interested, so that the proper arrangements can be made.

Please direct your attention to my website, www.jeffberkman.com, as I recently posted a picture of us which I have included a copy of with this letter.

Once again, thank you for your hospitality. It was a pleasure to meet with you and I look forward to our next meeting.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey Berkman
