I was so pleased to hear that the City of SJC was considering a 20 year lease extension for The Ecology Center
(TEC).
We have a family membership as we wholeheartedly believe in the importance of this program and their
outreach to our community. Last year we attended a few of the open community events at TEC and was so
pleased to see younger children learning about our environment and how to better sustain it as they grow
older. By learning at a young age and in a safe, family environment, when these children are adults, well, we
will all be able to breathe a bit easier as to environmental decisions for the next generation.
We will also be attending the council meeting at City Hall.
In closing, please share our sentiments of support with Mayor Pam Patterson and Mayor Pro Tern Kerri
Ferguson
Kind regards,
Jennifer

Dear Mayor Pam Patterson and Mayor ProTem Kerri Ferguson,
5/3/2016.
E1a·
I respectfully request that the San Juan Capistrano City Council support the extension
of the lease agreement for the Ecology Center (EC). The EC provides a fantastic
opportunity for educating children and adults on the values of hands-on environmental
solutions in their houses, at work and in the community. Their initiatives such as
cutting water use, growing your own vegetables and sourcing food from local sources
are forward-thinking, and will in the long term, help California and San Juan Capistrano
in playing their part in sustainability.
Please vote to extend the EC lease!
Thank you!
Mark Varney

I'm not one for writing to officials, but I did want to drop a short note to show my support for the Ecology
Center. I've gone there with my mom for cooking classes and I was really impressed by their commitment to
building community in Orange County.
It's easy for developers and big companies to get leases, but it's harder for these small organizations to get
them. Having lived in the Midwest, what I missed most was the feeling of community in Orange County. It
can feel very corporate sometimes! Organizations like The Ecology Center are trying to combat that. People
want to live in neighborhoods where creating a better world is at the forefront. Supporting a long-term lease for
this organization shows that you are committed to the future of Orange County.
I hope you'll show your support for the Ecology Center next week.
Thanks for your consideration!

Hello Mayor Pam Patterson and Mayor ProTem Kerri Ferguson, I'm writing this letter
to express my support for The Ecology Center and to encourage you both to work hard
on our behalf to complete the 20 year lease agreement with The Ecology Center.
TEC has been a huge part of our community and lives for the past 6 years, we
attended countless workshops, film screenings and learned so much that we've shared
with our friends and neighbors. Now that we have a daughter, we have been attending
all of the family events they put on and are very supportive the types of engagments
that TEC creates, that show our daughter the kind of positive impact she can make and
how the world can be a better place for future generations.
Thanks for doing the right thing for our community!

We just want to say how much we love going to the workshops at the ecology center.
We make use of a ton of the resources they have for our community and what a better
community we are for having them here. We need more places like them. My kids love
going there and I love all the incredibly valuable things they take away from it.
Please sign them on for at least a 20 year lease agreement. Such wonderful things can
happen for the community.
Thank you,

Please count another member of the local community in support of extending The Ecology Center lease
agreement. There's no place like it in OC (or beyond), and all who visit leave inspired to spread the vision of
sustainable abundance that TEC embodies. I've volunteered with TEC since visiting two years ago, and the
organization truly lives up to the ideal of giving more than it takes.

I wanted to write to support The Ecology Center in their lease renewal. I am a teacher at Viejo Elementary
School and we have been a part of the Grow Your Own! program for the past several years. The Ecology
Center1s programming has made a huge difference in our school community as we have grown our school
garden. They provide sustainability resources that are unparalleled in Orange County, as well as a wonderful
community gathering space. I hope that the city will continue to support The Ecology Center so that they can
continue to support our community.

Hello council members of San Juan Capistrano. My name is Nicolas jean and I have been volunteering at the
ecology center for about 6 months and have learn a great deal from the lovely Ecology center. There are plenty
of opportunities at the ecology center for me and other kids like myself to learn simple but affective techniques
to create a healthy lifestyle both in exercise and in eating healthy food right from the garden at the ecology
center and at home in the garden. So far so good, I am also super exited about taking the permaculture class this
summer with Luciano as well as other small but affective classes over the summer.
I would love to see the ecology center thrive and stay alive for many years to come.

The Ecology Center is an asset to the city of San Juan Capistrano as well as the county of Orange. The Center
fosters programs that enable members of the community to live more sustainable lives. The focus of The
Ecology Center is developing a sense of community to work to insure that our children can enjoy the earth as
we know it today. Ways to conserve our most valuable resource, water, has been a major focus since its
inception in 2008. The Grow Your Own school garden program, which is in over 30 local schools, gives
children the understanding of the importance of producing and eating organic, local food. The Ecology Center
is a beacon of positive action that reflects positively on the city of San Juan Capistrano.
