• EXAMPLE LETTER <br /> This letter was written to the city to try to start a BMX track. <br /> Dear Mr <br /> I am sending along some information on our BMX Youth Program for your <br /> review. We are sanctioned by the American Bicycle Association (ABA currently has <br /> some 200 race tracks and over 60,000 active members)in the U.S. and Canaria <br /> We feel this "alternative" activity provides numerous potential solutions for <br /> problems facing our youth and community. By using the vehicle or "hook" of BMX <br /> (bicycle motocross) we have been able to form community-based partnerships with local <br /> Police, probation, schools, city, civic and other groups in providing services for our <br /> youth. The results of all referrals from police, probation, schools, social services etc. <br /> have proven positive for youth and their families. BMX is a great"prevention\education <br /> program." • <br /> I am enclosing this information as a follow up to our recent phone conversation <br /> on the "Alternative" Youth BMX Program we have in our community. We are very <br /> interested in having our program serve as a "pilot" or "model" in sharing the many <br /> positive aspects of our program. Some of these include: <br /> • Establishing "community based partnerships" with local Schools, <br /> • Police,Probation Depts.,City Parks and Rec.etc. <br /> • Providing "positive" outlets for all youth, specifically targeting those <br /> "at risk". <br /> • Creating a grounds for education and prevention measures within the <br /> community. <br /> • Innovative means of attracting and attaining the attention of youth in <br /> an "alternative program" that reinforces self-esteem, responsible <br /> decision making, good values, family participation, bicycle and <br /> automobile safety&others. <br /> I have enclosed a package of materials supporting our BMX Program. I would <br /> gladly discuss this program with you at length and provide any additional materials and <br /> information•required. If there is anything else that I must do please do not hesitate to call. <br /> Our ultimate goal is to reach as many youth as possible and provide "positive" <br /> alternatives which allow for individual and family growth. <br /> Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to speaking with you soon. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> • <br />
