Bati@xerox.com] <br /> Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 4:33 PM <br /> To: Jim Wolfe <br /> Cc: hengehold@msn.com <br /> Subject: RE: Lighted Sports Fields <br /> <br />Mr. Wolfe, <br /> <br />I am the mother of 3 boys, two of which currently play Pony ball and the third, when old enough, will play as well. <br />I find it extremely frustrating that the children continue to take the brunt of cuts wherever possible and in some <br />cases at the complete expense of the children. When we moved from Southern California 4 1/2 years ago, we <br />had choices of where we wanted to live and we CHOSE Pleasanton. There were many reason's but most were <br />related to our kids. What were Pleasanton Unified's test scores, how did they compare to the rest of the country, <br />what programs were available for the children, including sports, this is very important to our family as well as so <br />many others. I see how sports brings families together and in today's world of mass of schedules, deadlines, <br />commutes, ect it is so needed. My hope is that you will go forward with the lighted baseball fields for our kids, so <br />that they have a good wholesome hobby that keeps these kids on the right track, give them an outlet, something <br />to look forward to. Don't cave into the beauracracy, take a stance for the children, they are the future, they are <br />the future voters. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Christine Bari <br />Ron Bari <br />Brandon Bati (PONY Player) <br />Matthew Bari (PONY Player) <br />Michael Bari (Future PONY Player) <br /> <br /> .....
