Unfortunately, the recreational needs of physically disabled youngsters seem to get lost in the shuffle, probably because the affected population is small. Nonetheless there are physically disabled youngsters throughout the Coachella Valley that are not experiencing the same development process through recreation as other children because of their special circumstances. I believe the opportunity to compete enhances their self-image and makes them more likely to be successful as adults. Currently this opportunity does not exist and as community leaders, I feel we have an obligation to try and fill this recreational void. The purpose for my letter is to solicit your support in organizing a Coachella Valley Baseball League for youngsters with physical disabilities. Specifically, I am asking you to assume the lead with your City Council in an effort to gain their commitment in making this worthwhile endeavor a reality. The costs will be nominal, and if there is broad support for the program, I would suggest we approach SunLine Transit Agency about providing specialized transportation. N\ 1515 SIXTH STREET • COACHELLA, CALIFORNIA 92236 • A.C. (619) 398-3502 Nue I would respectfully ask that you discuss the special baseball league with your City Council at the earliest opportunity and then let me know if your community is willing to participate in the program. The existing youth leagues start play in April and I am hoping we can work the special games into the regular season. In advance, thank you for your serious consideration of this request.
