200 S. Anaheim Blvd., 7t" Floor
Anaheim, CA 92805
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
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. Please do not demolish this cultural building considering the fact that that nothing is
planned to replace it.
Sincerely,
Linda J. Stevenson
