Orozco, Norma From:Alexis Rodriguez-Mejia <alexisrodriguezmejia@college.harvard.edu> Sent:Thursday, June 18, 2020 4:49 PM To:eComment Subject:Support Additional Funding for After School Programs Dear Mayor and Council, I am support additional funding for AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS. It is important for the youth of Santa Ana to have access to extracurricular activities and the infrastructure for High Speed Internet Access. Additional funding for hot spots is important and necessary. The Santa Ana Police Athletic and Activity League is a great outreach and community oriented program that could benefit with additional funding. The Santa Ana police athletic and activity league is an amazing program that has helped out our community so much. Speaking from experience SAPAAL has given me so many amazing opportunities. It was at SAPAAL where I created my first ever resume that helped me get an internship at the Santa Ana City Manager’s Office. It was also there where I learned the importance of community service and the importance of synergy through it’s run team. Thanks to SAPAAL, I never had to worry about not having a printer at home, or not being able to complete my homework. I can tell you as a first generation college student that SAPAAL not only works, but it changes mindsets. I never imagined I’d be in the school I am today without SAPAAL’s help. Investing in SAPAAL doesn’t just mean supporting the program, rather it means investing in our community and it’s future. SAPAAL accepts students from all over Santa Ana and provides them opportunities to grow and further their education. This program is life changing, and should be further supported in any way possible. In conclusion, I thank you for your time and consideration, and hope you will support the Santa Ana Police Athletic and Activity League. This program has changed so many lives, won’t you help it change more? Thank you, Alexis Rodriguez Mejia 1
