RE: Application for Commissioner Parks and Community Events Please accept the enclosed application for Commissioner Parks and Community Events.
I have lived in Cathedral City for the last 15-years and truly love living here! I have volunteered for many community events that help make our city great.
About two years ago, I had an idea that the new city Amphitheater would be an ideal spot to host a community yoga class, like they do at Sunnylands. I made a formal proposal to the Parks and Community Events commission and it was accepted and budgeted, not only last year but this year. I tirelessly marketed the Yoga at the Amphitheater program last year to great success. This year we have added an additional Gentle Yoga class with the hope for even greater success, all for the residents of the Cathedral City community. I have greatly appreciated the unanimous support of all of the current City Council members for the Yoga at the Amphitheater program. I have tried to become the face of the Yoga program, not only by tirelessly marketing the program but also by selecting the top yoga teachers in the valley to conduct the classes. I show up for every class to make sure the all of the logistics are working properly and to meet and greet every class participant, hand out yoga mats and blocks and troubleshoot any glitches.
Additionally , I am very proud of the many community events that are produced annually by Cathedral City and have happily volunteered my time to help to make each of these events successful and fun for the community . You may have seen me as the Easter Bunny at the easter event. I have also volunteered for the Balloon Fest, Jalisco, Christmas, LGBT Days and many others . Those in charge know that they can rely on me for both support and enthusiasm.
In closing, if appointed Commissioner of Parks and Community Events, I promise that I will take this job very seriously. I know that I can continue to make a difference in our community and to help make Cathedral City a great place to live!
Sincerely,
