Honorable City Council Members,
I recently learned that the bank and teen gatherings there are in jeopardy. While I am not a member of the church, and not even
Christian, I believe that limiting activities at the Bank is not a good decision. In fact, without an alternative locale, ending
these activities at the Bank could possibly, lead to more disruption for this neighbor. The Bank provides a much-needed place for
teens to hang out and relax. The kids are not there at night but rather in the afternoon. My son--yes, the same one who attends
Hebrew school--loves seeing friends there and spending time there. The church's values of welcoming the stranger and generosity
are so important to support, especially in today's political environment.
Sincerely,
--Sara Leslie
