To The Bozeman City Commissioners,
The Kaiser family requests your overwhelming support in funding, to the
greatest extent possible, the proposed Sports Park facility for the youth of
Bozeman and visiting athletes. Our family has been a part of the Bozeman
community for 32 years. We have experienced first hand the growth and
development of our fine community, and have been so grateful to raise
our 3 kids here. Over the course of the last 16 years we have been a part
of the community of families, using and enjoying all the trails, community
ski hill, Bogert Pool, MSU fields and Bronken fields for all our sports
activities.
Bozeman is filled with families just like ours, and much more growth is
expected. We travel endlessly for sports activities like soccer, and
Lacrosse and are often surprised by the fact that our community…home to
MSU, a progressive University constantly improving its facilities/programs
to draw more accomplished students…does not have its own sports
facilities for our youth that reflects the quality of our athletes and
commitment of our community to its athletic endeavors. The ability to
host events in a location as appealing as Bozeman, would give all the
clubs the opportunity to create many revenue generating tournaments and
clinics that families would love to attend and plan vacations around. As a
result, we could increase the exposure of our athletes to a broader
community of coaches and scouts who are anxious to have a reason to
visit Bozeman.
We need enough fields however, and a quality comprehensive plan to
facilitate a variety of uses and reflect the quality of our community now
and in the future. We ask you to enthusiastically fund this proposal. It is
our belief that it will add immeasurable value to the image of Bozeman as
the best place to live in MT and the Northwest, it would be a great
complement to MSU which is growing in prestige, and greatly benefit the
community businesses and youth of Bozeman.
Thank you for working so hard to make Bozeman the wonderful place it is.
And thank you for supporting the youth athletes of Bozeman and Montana.
Respectfully,
Bill, Sue, Julia, Olivia and Will Kaiser
