| Dear Sir or Madam I am writing in connection with your consideration of closing a sport and leisure centre, with a request not to close this centre. My family use the centre almost every day. My elderly mother and I participate in square dancing which your centre organizes. My little daughter visits the children playground. My husband and his colleagues love playing in your indoor paintball fields. The centre plays an important role for the local community. It is not only about exercising but it is more about socializing. Also, it is a great place for newcomers in our district. If the centre is closed it will have a negative effect for all the people in the district. Retirees would find themselves idle or even isolated. Children would not have a place for playing with other children. Also, if teenagers were not occupied it would reflect on the district criminal situation. In this way, I am very concerned about closing the centre. I would be really appreciated if you take this into consideration and will keep the centre. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully Dina Scherbakova |
| Dear sir or madam I am writting this letter in response to porposed closure of local sport and leisure centre. First, I would like to stress you about how importatn this centre to me and my family. Almost every day after my work me and my wife loved to go to that centre for gym. My two little boy and girl alos love to go ther in order to keep themself physically fit. I believe this centre has played pivotal role to keep all our community vivrant and healthy. If you are going to close this fitness centre I am sure it would have serious detrimental effect to whole of our community as there is no other centres within communicable distance. I hope you would consider these issues before you take your final decision. Your sincerly luke |
| Dear Sir/Madame, I am writing with regard to the advertising which has been published on Washington Post pertains to the proposal you are considering to shut down the recreation center in Fairfax area due to money saving. I and my friends meet regularly at the center and exercise some physical activities such as swimming, tennis, as well as free weight. In addition, my kids participate in football club and enjoy immensely , in addition learning swimming every other day after school where fitness keep them healthy and motivated. I believe that the center has tremendous beneficial to the society because it keeps the community unified by knowing each other and interactive. Let me explain the situation for you if you decide to close the center. As you probably know that the only sport center we have had and I cannot imagine how the teenagers will not engaged in any activity which lead them to not be occupied and as a result they will be in street mixed with other young people who addicted to drugs and alcohol. It means we destroy our young people. I hope that you take these concerns into consideration before you take making a decision. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Yours Faithfully, Khaled Aly |
