As per our prior correspondences, these funds will be used <br /> exclusively to help pay for construction of the 23,000 square foot skate park as planned under the <br /> Washington- Jefferson Bridge in Eugene, Oregon. <br /> Although you see only one single check, this is truly a collective donation from past, present, and future <br /> skateboarders, supporters and family of skateboarders, as well as community members in favor of a <br /> new direction for. Washington- Jefferson Park. On behalf of all the supporters of the skatepark and SES, <br /> we want to again express our deepest gratitude for the City's leadership and commitment to move this <br /> monumental project forward. <br /> As we have discussed for many years, positive use will be critical to the success of this project. We are <br /> optimistic that skateboarders will be a key positive anchor for the redevelopment of the entire park <br /> area. With this in mind, we want to reiterate how important skateboarding only programming will be <br /> once the skatepark opens. Maintaining select times spaced reasonably throughout the week for <br /> skateboarding only as well as skateboarding only times for the youngest age groups will be imperative. <br /> We make this donation with these understandings in mind. <br /> Once again, thank you. <br /> Best regards, <br /> Bob Chandler <br /> Treasurer, Skaters for Eugene Skateparks <br /> infoSkateEuqene.orq <br /> www.SK8EUG.orq <br />
