Huizar <br />My name is Cheryl Eberly, and I am the Youth Services Supervisor for the City of Santa <br />Ana, based out of the Santa Ana Public Library. I am writing this letter to provide <br />compelling community support for the collaboration between Media Arts Santa Ana <br />(MASA), a Project of Community Partners, and the Philip K. Dick Film Festival, for <br />which they are request funding from the Santa Ana Investing in the Artist grant. <br />This important project highlights the contributions and multicultural vision of Philip K. <br />Dick, an internationally acclaimed science fiction writer who lived his final years in Santa <br />Ana. <br />In celebrating this important figure in Santa Ana's history, this project will also stimulate <br />a creative discussion about the city's future, and the impact writers, filmmakers and <br />other creative artists can have on their community and the world. <br />This innovative, multifaceted project will inspire Santa Ana students and families to <br />learn more about the author and to celebrate the city's contribution to his <br />groundbreaking vision through screenings and discussions, as well as by promoting the <br />author's titles that can be enjoyed at the Santa Ana Public Library. <br />We also believe the extensive promotion and outreach for this project will encourage <br />Santa Ana residents and students from throughout the city to obtain library cards and <br />learn about our services, such as E -Library Access, our Digital Collection, History <br />Room, and free programs for youth and adults. <br />We look forward to the opportunity to participate in this project and to hold screenings, <br />discussions and readings celebrating Philip K. Dick and his multicultural vision at the <br />Santa Ana Public Library. <br />I hope you will consider this unique, timely and transformative project as worthy of <br />support from the Investing in the Artist grant. <br />Si rely_ <br />Cheryl Eberly <br />Santa Ana Public Library <br />City of Santa Ana <br />714-647.5288 (ceberlyC7a Santa-ana.org) <br />
