On Sunday mornings anywhere from 15 to 30 people, Including a handful of senior citizens, I'm Included in that group, play badminton in the gym from 8:00 ass. to 11:30 pm. There is also a church group which uses another part of the building at the same time. If budget cuts will reduce the available amount of time for badminton or negatively affect the church group I would like to suggest the following: 1) Increase the current usage fee from $1.00 to $2.00. 2) Reduce current staffing patterns from two people to one person. Two staff persons are not needed during this time period. Your support in helping a^ititaiy thgseySunday hours will be most appreciated. ' '; Sincerely yours7,
