April 30, 2018 <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Investing in the Artist Grant Administration <br />Community Development Agency M-25 <br />20 Civic Center Plaza, 61" Floor <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />We are writing on behalf of the seniors who volunteer and participate in programs and services at <br />Delhi Center and who have lived in the Delhi neighborhood for many years, some of us for over <br />80 years. Since 1969, Delhi Center has provided valuable services in the southeastern most <br />section of Santa Ana, an area that would be neglected and service poor but for the Delhi Center. <br />The Delhi Center Cultural History Project will offer an opportunity for long-term residents to <br />finally get the recognition they deserve for being pillars of the community. We are the pioneers <br />of Santa Ana who stayed on while others moved out of the area during hard times. When gang <br />activity was rampant in the neighborhood, we stayed and worked together to resolve the <br />problems and to improve the quality of life in our community. <br />Delhi neighborhood seniors are very excited about this project and support it wholeheartedly. We <br />recently took part in Delhi Center's Open House design concept and program review and voted <br />for a cultural history project to be developed for our center, and this grant would help us reach <br />our goal. We look forward to having our history and culture on display for all Santa Ana <br />residents to learn about our contributions to this great city. <br />Thank you for your consideration of our request. We look forward to many great things <br />happening in the Delhi neighborhood. <br />Sincerely, <br />Delhi Seniors Program t� <br />opt r # "ievo <br />
