Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br />Dear Mayor Amezcua and City Councilmembers, <br /> <br />I am writing to express my support for the resolution identifying the Japanese American Citizens <br />League, Southeast Los Angeles, North Orange County/Orange County Chapter as a community <br />stakeholder in the preservation of the Orange County Japanese Tea House and Garden. <br /> <br />As a descendant of one of the original donors and supporters of this project, I urge you to approve <br />this resolution. The Japanese Garden and Tea House, established in 1969, represents a significant <br />cultural legacy in our community. It stands as a testament to the vision of our forebears who sought to <br />promote cross-cultural understanding and appreciation. <br /> <br />By recognizing the Japanese American Citizens League as a stakeholder, you will be honoring the <br />original intent of the garden's creators and safeguarding its future for generations to come. It also <br />honors those in the Japanese American community that have come before us. We owe much to <br />them for their hard work, determination, sacrifice, and perseverance. Approving this resolution will <br />demonstrate Santa Ana's ongoing dedication to these important values. <br /> <br />Although this item is on the Consent Calendar and are routinely approve without discussion, I <br />respectfully ask that you vote in favor of this resolution to carry on the legacy of our community's <br />founders. <br /> <br />Thank you very much, <br />George M.K.
