Dear [Council Member Name], I am writing as a resident of Escondido to express my strong support for the proposed Escondido Ice facility at Kit Carson Regional Park. As you consider this project, I want you to know that I believe this is an exceptional opportunity for our city: • A privately funded facility — zero cost to Escondido taxpayers • 150 construction jobs and $12.3 million in wages for our community • $237,302 in recurring annual city revenue once operational • World-class youth programs, public skating, and adaptive sports available locally • $4 million contributed by The Rinks Foundation toward softball field relocation [Your personal sentence — why this matters to your family] I am proud to support this project and urge you to move forward with the community engagement and environmental review process. Thank you for your service to Escondido. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address, Escondido CA]

Share Your Family Story

Stories like these move undecided residents and influence council members more than any statistic can:

"My daughter drives 90 minutes each way to figure skate. That's our whole evening — twice a week."
"Our family spends thousands of dollars a year on gas and hotels for hockey — in other cities."
"My son has sled hockey practice an hour away. There's nothing adaptive or inclusive near us."
