Hey Everybody-
Guess what? Our coaches positions have been eliminated by the City of Walnut Creek. This is not a joke. Of the Aquatics programs in the city, ours is the only one that operates in the black, and yet they are going to cut it.
If you could, would you shoot a brief e-mail, to the city council and let them know what a successful program this is across the country and in the world. All few hundred of us are doing what we can, but I think it's time to bring in the big guns- you.
Kerry has spent 30 years of his life building this program into what it is today, and helping many of you in the process, please help him and the program that he lives for.
The address is: mayor@walnut-creek.org
and ask them to respond to your e-mail.
Thanks,
Karen Duggan
Thanks flo. It is appreciated = )
We had a city council meeting last night. Kerry asked the team NOT to go, as our board members and captains (all 14 of them) were going to speak on our behalf (Kerry's behalf). They wanted smaller numbers b/c the mtg. was going to be filled to the rafters, as it included ALL budget cuts in the city.
Great idea Ahelee. I'll see how the meeting went and then perhaps post elsewhere.
Thanks everybody.
And still, if you could take a minute to e-mail and let Walnut Creek know what an amazing program Kerry O'Brien has built, that would be huge for getting to keep him. mayor@walnut-creek.org
