Letters to the Editor

Each year, we ask Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda to financially support the Lamorinda Spirit Van Program. This has been a very difficult year for the Town of Moraga to consider funding us as it is focused on financing the repairs to the sinkhole.

I would like to thank Moraga Vice Mayor Dave Trotter for writing a letter of support for the Spirit Van. Because of Mr. Trotter's letter, a donor who wishes to remain anonymous is matching donations up to $4,500 to help the Town of Moraga provide $9,000 in funding to the Lamorinda Spirit Van Program. In response to these efforts donations are coming in, and another donor who also wishes to remain anonymous has said s/he will make up any shortage. These efforts ensure that Moraga's usual contribution of $9,000 will continue for 2016-2017. Since the Moraga Town Council has agreed to revisit the possibility of funding the Lamorinda Spirit Van Program in January after more is known about funding the sinkhole repairs, Moraga's contribution from the town and from private donations may turn out to be more than $9,000. For this financial support, the City of Lafayette, the passengers, and I are very appreciative.

A big "Thank you," to vice mayor Trotter, the Moraga Town Council, and Moraga community donors for making this happen! Thank you to John Warshaw for setting up the Active.Netdonations site via facebook.com/lamorindaspiritvan! Thank you to Jay Ingram and Kimberly Nelson for setting up the Electronic Reader Board!
