Subject: Please do not defund the Sebastopol Center for the Arts Date: Wednesday, March 13, 2024 7:51:11 PM
Dear Esteemed City Council Member,
I am angry and disappointed to learn that the Sebastopol City Council is considering defunding the Sebastopol Center for the Arts. As a tax payer who pays thousands and thousands of dollars locally in property taxes; as someone who supports local businesses including paying those those increasingly higher and higher sales taxes; and as a senior who enjoys the offerings of the Sebastopol Center for the Arts, it would be a devastating blow to our community if this institution didn't continue to serve our community of all ages.
I highly value the classes, concerts, community activities, youth programs and cultural events that enrich our lives I cannot envision a vibrant Sebastopol without our beloved Sebastopol Center for the Arts.
The Sebastopol center is a vibrant lifeline to so many.
Shutting down the Sebastopol Center would have a disastrous impact on our community as a whole. It would not only destroy our vibrant network, it would trickle down into every crevice of our greater Sebastopol community. This can not happen. You must do everything you can to save this wonderful asset and gift to Sebastopol.
Thank you,
Roberta Teller
