Subject: Support for A&M BBQ and Their Contribution to Sebastopol
Dear Sebastopol City Council Members,
I am writing to share my appreciation and strong support for A&M BBQ, a local family-owned small business that has become a meaningful part of our community.
We are truly grateful to have A&M BBQ in Sebastopol. We have been needing excellent BBQ in our area, and they have filled that gap in a way that brings people together and adds something special to our town.
They consistently show up for our community—not only through their food and welcoming presence, but also through their generosity. They regularly donate to local youth sports teams and school events, and their involvement brings real value to families and children in Sebastopol.
Beyond their business itself, A&M BBQ brings energy, warmth, and a sense of local culture that many of us feel has been missing. They contribute to the kind of community spirit that helps Sebastopol thrive.
For that reason, I was surprised to hear about any community concerns or pushback regarding such a special local business. From my perspective, they have been nothing but a positive addition to our town.
I respectfully ask that the council continue to support small, family-run businesses like A&M BBQ, who invest so much back into Sebastopol.
Thank you for your time and for your continued service to our community.
Sincerely,
Katie Phipps
