Dear city council, I write to express my concerns regarding the possible closure of the Menlo Park Gym program. For the past 10 years, we have been gifted with the chance to see our three children engage in the outstanding programs offered through the MP gym. Through the strong mentorship and support of their trainers, they have gained self-confidence and grown their sense of community. My experience is not unique as I am sure you will be receiving feedback from other families who have been deeply blessed by the opportunity to participate in these excellent programs. As you go through your deliberations, please consider the damage that removing this resource will cause to the overall health and morale of our community. Thanks for your consideration.
