Subject: Vote In Support of the Cooperative Agreement With Anaheim Ballet
Dear May Sidhu Council Members,
The arts nourish any community and Anaheim Ballet has been that vitalizing force in Anaheim for more than
20 years. Anaheim Ballet has been recognized locally and internationally as an exemplary organization
because of the many ways it gives back to the community such as providing free community-based after-
school programming, workforce and recreational training, bus -in presentations, lecture/demonstrations and
concert performances. In this way, Anaheim Ballet has served as a stellar ambassador for the city of Anaheim.
The Anaheim Cultural Arts Center, a distinct and architecturally important building, is slated to be demolished
without a plan to replace it. If the city proceeds with this demolition, Anaheim will be left without a Cultural
Arts Center and will displace its treasured arts organization. It is in Anaheim's highest and best interest to
retain the exceptional Anaheim Ballet in its current location so that it can continue to enrich us all but
especially the underserved youth of this community for many, many years to come.
I urge you to vote in support of the Cooperative Agreement with Anaheim Ballet and thank you for your
consideration.
Sincerely,
Christy C. Kurzeja
