Japanese School Dialogue (Edited Email)

Futher to your advertisement in the newspaper on leasing the former school building. Our society would not be able to lease the building but would like to network with others and facilitate a public dialogue on the use of the facility as follows:

1. Council consider the option of not leasing the building but restoring it to be used for school heritage programs and heritage book reading room during the day and hostle in the evening and summer.  FACTS would be willing to host a public dialogue and network with school and community organizations to set up the program and to lend on a long-term loan their heritage book collection.   Artifacts from the Japanese use of the school could be on display as well. 
2. If this option is not considered, then we would like to facilitate a public dialogue on considering all the options for use of the facility.  This is especially important for those living in the neighborhood of the school. 

Look forward to council's response to our suggestions.

Sincerely,

David Ibsen
Executive Director
