Dear Menlo Park City Council members, I cannot attend the board meeting this Tuesday so write again (prior emails below) to encourage you to invest in Menlo Park’s aquatic facilities at Burgess and Belle Haven as you do for all recreation facilities in the city. As others have written, I too...
Hello council members, I want to express my support for the current aquatics program, Tim Sheeper and Menlo Swim and Sport. I am hearing encouraging information that the city and Sheeper are working together to build and support both pool programs. For too long I feel it has been an adversaria...
