Its the fourth quarter and we are behind. This is crunch time. As a school we are hoping to send 1,000 emails to the Westfield City Council by next Monday and so far we have sent ... 19. Now is the time to stand up and help our school and program by making your voice heard.
1) Please send an email ASAP explaining your support for the City giving us money from the water sale to support our new stadium. They will get a full return on their investment due to the taxes that would be generated from moving us off of the current field. I have attached my email if its helpful. They don't want cookie cutter emails, but everyone needs to send one, even if you just list bullet points like below.
- Over 200 events are held each year at the present stadium and current use is restricted because it is natural grass. With an artificial turf stadium, future use is expected to grow to over 300 events annually.
- Our existing stadium can not meet the needs of our school and community
- A turf surface has less maintenance cost
- The field could be used during the school day for band, PE, and other courses
- Graduation could be held in the stadium and the back up plan- with tickets- could be the gym
- The school gains new facilities and the opportunity to support overall economic development in the area.
- The City advances development at a key point in time for the Grand Junction.
- The community benefits from additional dollars invested in infrastructure and the potential for reduced tax rates due to growth in assessed value

2) Secondly, we need 100 VOTERS at the meeting next Monday (5/12) at City Hall at 7pm. Please clear your schedule and attend. We want the kids there too, but the Council needs to see voters in that crowd. Please wear Green!
Go Rocks!
