<br />" <br /> <br />1/10/95 <br /> <br />City of Paris <br />Department of Parks and Recreation <br />Mr. Dick Boots, Director <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Boots: <br /> <br />I am WTiting this letter as a Minister, a board member of several community outreach <br />programs and as a resident of Paris. I want to express to you how passionate I feel about <br />the need for a public swimming pool in our community. As a parent I have wished there <br />were some place for my child to swim in the summer. I have also been painfully conscious <br />of the fact that we live in a community tbat has a strong history of racial segregation. <br />The thought of baving a municipal swimming pool at a high visibility location such as the <br />one suggested on tbe loop, would be a powerful statement about our intentionality of being <br />a progressive community. As board chainnan of Co-Ministry, I see a great need for <br />recreational resources in our community which can be afforded by everyone. As a minister <br />I see a need for our children and youth to have a supervised community recreation resource <br />which can be utilized by entire families. <br /> <br />I will support the issue of building a public swimming pool in every way possible. It will be <br />good for our children, and good for Paris' image where growth and progress are concerned. <br /> <br />Thank vou for vour consideration, <br />.
