February 7,2017 <br /> Dear Santa Ma City Council and Mayor Pulido, <br /> It is with great honor that 1 write this letter in favor of voting For the item 65C option <br /> 1 B. <br /> As a community member whose son has participated in many of EL Centro's events, <br /> daughter has been in the Wooden Floor,and as an employee of a local non profit, I <br /> have seen the need to have many options in our community that highlight different <br /> aspects of the arts in order to support the different personalities and needs of our <br /> youth, El Centro's programs offer a unique opportunity for youth to engage in a <br /> traditional art form,Son Jarocho,a style of music and dance that conies from rural <br /> communities in the southern part of Mexico, <br /> The spirit of using the funds allotted For the community arts outreach programs and <br /> having all groups benefit from them is the way to bring our community of Santa Ana <br /> together. Voting For Option I B allows the city to reach more youth, particularly <br /> those that would not have had access to this opportunity elsewhere. <br /> Both of my children have benefited from the incredible work happening with El <br /> Centro,The Wooden Floor,and other community organizations,and I am grateful <br /> that these opportunities have been made available to them. I hope that you will all <br /> vote in favor of 113 to continue and strengthen that community bond throughout the <br /> city. <br /> Thank you for your time and leadership on this issue. <br /> / <br /> Cathari e Quinn, BSN, RN, MPH <br />
