[EXTERNAL SENDER]
Hello,
My name is Karen Boncher and I have been a resident of Los Gatos for over 20 years. I am writing to you today to express my support for the Hand(Righting) the Constitution Community Art Project. I sincerely hope the Town of Los Gatos will join me in supporting this meaningful and timely community building project.
I am horrified by the growing division in our country, as well as the increasing disregard for our Constitution and believe Gordon Yamate's efforts to bring this project to our town is a timely gift to all of us in Los Gatos. To me, it is not only timely because of our country's upcoming Semiquicentennial, but also because we desperately need to find ways to come together and build community, regardless of our differences. Furthermore, one of the things I like most about the project is that so many of us will be able to participate, most importantly the youth in our community.
Thank you for considering an endorsement of the Hand(Righting) the Constitution Community Art Project; I hope you agree that Los Gatos would benefit tremendously by participating in this meaningful and historic activity.
Best regards,
Karen Boncher
