While I realize that non-profits are worthwhile and beneficial to our communities the Center, because of it's ownership by the city of Chula Vista has enjoyed a special relationship to its citizens. It is their center. The employees and volunteers have, for the most part, remained steadfast through many years, all becoming part of the Norman Park family. I myself worked upstairs for over 10 years and knew the city employees, volunteers, all of the people who worked on the second floor. There was a closeness and comradery that came from knowing and liking each other. We shared so much, personal history, happiness, sometimes sadness, altogether it made coming to work something that you looked forward to. If you needed an answer to a question or a solution to a problem there was always someone who knew the answer, and was always willing to help. The services that the Center has provided over the years I could not even begin to chronicle. The help that has been provided to the people ofChula Vista, from minor instances to major problems is immeasurable. When the unfortunate incident happened at the Congregational Towers a few years ago the police and firemen automatically sent people on F street to the Center, we saw one fireman carry an elderly woman in, she was cared for by staff members and volunteers until she felt better. The potluck lunches, the movies, the meetings, etc. there are too many memories, the Center is and always will be, a special place to me and I hope with all my heart that it will remain part of our city for a long time to come, a place that is as much a part of the city of Chula Vista as is every other thing that is dear to all of us that live here.

DATE October 4, 2010 Dear Madame Mayor and Council Members It has come to our attention that on Tuesday, October 5, 2010, you will begin consderation of three different proposals for balancing the City Budget. While it was made clear to us that your acceptance of any of the three "balancing" poposals is dependent on the results of three other income "balancers", including the passage of Proposition H, we were agast to hear that NORMAN PARK is on the cutting table in each of the three proposals. Does that mean that NORMAN PARK will be closino even if Propostion H passes???? If this happens, and we've heard it may occur as soon as Jan 7th, you would be closing the doors and support services to over 2500 senior residents EACH WEEK who consider NORMAN PARK their Center. You would be closing the doors on close to 100 on-going in-house programs; community sponsored workshops and activities; daily, weekly and monthly "helping" services as well as to the fun and sharing activities we all look forward to to keep us young and healthy and independent and vital as we are. Please remember that senior citizens, aged 50 and over, represent 18% of Chula Vista's residents. We are tax payers and voters, too. We're already investigating ways to make a difference in the important election coming up in November. But. before anv of us can decide how to vote. we need to hear from vou that the Citv Council will oive us this ensuino time -- and UP to December 1st. to poll the Center's 2500 members and visitors in order to come UP with our own better suoooestions for makino our Center more cost effective. WE THINK THERE ARE MANY MORE WAYS FOR OUR CENTER TO BECOME COST EFFECTIVE BESIDES CLOSING IT DOWN. WE ASK FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO CONTACT THESE INTERESTED PARTIES AND, THEN, PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME OF THEIR IMPORTANT INPUT BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY FINAL DECISION REGARDING NORMAN PARK.

You would be closing the doors on close to 100 on going in-house programs, community-sponsored workshops and activities and daily, weekly and !llonthl> "helping" services as well as the fun and sharing activities we all look forward to Please remember that senior citizens in Chula Vista account for approximately 18% of our population. We are tax payers and voters, too, and each of us (aged 50 to 95) have had a little bit more life experience than anyone of you. Perhaps we can come up with. some suggestions to make our Center more cost effective.. .BEFOREALL YOU YOUNG-UNS GIVE US NO ALTERNATIVE BUT TO CLOSE DOWN OUR UFF. BLOOD. We propose that we poll our approximately 2500 members and visitors to come up wIth cost effective suggestions by December 1,2010. Please give us that opportunity before you finalize any decisions to close NORMAN PARK SENIOR CENTER.

That is not even a full three days notice and for seniors that is not a very long time. We, who have discovered the fellowship and joy available to us in our community center, find this to be appalling and disheartening. How can the big beautiful City of Chula Vista even consider doing such a thing? This is very disturbing to the seniors who enjoy our special meeting place. We need a place to meet and the interaction of others is very important to our general health and mental health.
