Anaheim ballet
Dear Mayor Sidhu and Council Members,
The arts are an important part of any community, and for more than 20 years, Anaheim Ballet has been a valued
arts force and presence in Anaheim. Anaheim Ballet provides free community-based after-school programming,
workforce and recreational training, bus -in presentations, lecture/demonstrations and concert performances and has
been recognized both locally and internationally as a point of pride to the City.
1 myself attended classes and believe the arts are what kept my spirit alive during school and helped propel my
studies forward, while keeping me fit and happy to study after a great class!
The Anaheim Cultural Arts Center (the current home of the Anaheim Ballet) is slated to be demolished without plans
for a new Cultural Arts Center or home for the Anaheim Ballet. If the City demolishes this architecturally unique
building, you will be removing the only Cultural Arts Center in the City and displacing the City's treasured arts
organization. It is best for the community, and especially for our underserved youth, that Anaheim Ballet remains in
its current accessible location!
Please vote in support of the Cooperative Agreement with Anaheim Ballet. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sam Fazel, D.C, F.M, Ayu.M
