Subject: Our Beloved Anaheim Ballet
Dear Mayor Sidhu and Council Members,
Anaheim Ballet is a very valued presence in our city and, as such, they should not be uprooted. As a community
member, I REJECT the idea that every time resources are needed, that we must TAKE from OTHER very
valuable resources in the community. This makes no sense.
Anaheim Ballet has been recognized both locally and internationally. When I was first acquainted with
Anaheim Ballet 13 years ago, I was shocked to find out that such a professional, multi -faceted, and truly world
class organization existed within our city. When my children were younger, they participated in ballet classes
for many years and even though they are no longer participants, we still enjoy attending the Ballet's amazing
performances as a family.
Anaheim Ballet is unique in that it brings both community betterment and prestige to the city. Instead of
destabilizing it, our city leaders can and should instead be providing additional support to this wonderful
organization that serves our community.
Anaheim would not be the same without the Anaheim Ballet's presence at the Cultural Arts Center Building!
Yolanda Leon, M.A.
