RecreationandParkCommission | 2021-06-10 | 6 | EXHIBIT 1 Eujoy Alameda Parks June 6, 2021 Ms. Adrienne Alexander Chair, Recreation and Park Commission Dear Adrienne, During the last Board Meeting of Friends of the Parks and Recreation Foundation ("FOTP"), we discussed the lack of connection between our board and the Recreation and Park Commission (the "Commission"). While ARPD staff member, Patrick Russi, attends many of our meetings, we have been remiss in not reaching out and keeping in close contact with the Commission. While the two entities were very closely aligned 15 years ago, there has not been any alignment in recent year. I personally, along with the FOTP Board, would like this to change. We had a couple of ideas as to how we could begin the alignment process, although we are certainly open to other suggestions. First, one or more of the members of our board could introduce FOTP at a Commission meeting. We could provide a quick 10-minute presentation on who we are, our mission, and ways we've been supporting recreation, parks and wellness in Alameda over the years. Second, perhaps there is a member of the Commission who would be interested in sitting on our Advisory Board and possibly joining our Board of Directors. Let me know if you'd like to meet sometime over lunch outdoors or jump on a call to discuss. I very much look forward to connecting and collaborating with you and the Commission. Warmest regards, Joe Restagno President Friends of Alameda Parks and Recreation Foundation oe.restagno@gmail.com 408-464-0857 (M) SVB Confidential | RecreationandParkCommission/2021-06-10.pdf |
