RE: Budget – SLO REP grant
Dear members of the City Council:
This letter is in support of SLO REP’s grant request. I have resided in San Luis Obispo for over 30
years and have attended and enjoyed many performances of SLO REP over these years. It has been
exciting to watch the quality of the acting and staging vastly improve over this time. The proposed
grant would help provide a new home for the company and thereby open up opportunities for new
growth. The new building would also be valuable to other non-profits in our community as well.
The ACT program, SLO REP’s educational program, serves children and teens 35 weeks of the year.
It could be greatly expanded in the new facility. Our grandson participated in a part of this program
and I could see firsthand the value and quality of this component of SLO REP.
In closing I urge you to approve SLO REP’s challenge grant request.
Sincerely,
Jutta H. Merriam, LCSW
