Emerson, M.S.W. San Rafael, CA 94920 Park and Recreation Commission City of San Rafael 1400 Fifth Ave, Room 209 San Rafael, CA 94901 January 27`x', 2015 Dear Commissioners: I am pleased to offer you my application to serve on the Park and Recreation Commission for the City of San Rafael. My reasons for wanting to serve are multiple. Fore mostly, I want to contribute in any way I can to promoting, improving, resourcing and developing the park and recreational facilities in San Rafael. I am interested in learning more about my own municipality and increasing my own and others civic engagement. Beyond that I want to promote that the design of our built environment can positively impact community health. Many of the kids in our public schools are at risk for obesity and our growing older adult population is at risk for social isolation and other health issues. We know that access to recreation and parks can have a huge impact on our long term health and ensure a vibrant community. Through my work for Marin County, I know many government, community and non-profit partners who are working towards shared goals to promote increased use of parks and recreation for all ages and groups. I am interested in connecting and leveraging these institutions and efforts. On a more personal note, I would be proud to serve the Marin and San Rafael community. I grew up in Mill Valley and now I live and work in San Rafael. I have two young children aged 3 and 6, my daughter is a Kindergartener at Coleman school (we love the school and the Child Care center as well). We spend many hours of play and recreational time outdoors and I am truly passionate about the benefits that parks, recreation and open space bring to our lives and communities. Thank you for your time and consideration of my application. .......... Cicily Emerson Cicily R. Emerson, M.S.W.
