Schertz, TX 78154
Dear Mr. Baldwin,
As you know the Randolph Metrocom Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with the
Metrocom cities, has been diligently working to secure a commitment from the Alamo
Community College District to locate a full-service campus in the northeast section of
San Antonio. In addition, the Northeast Partnership, under the chairmanship of Mayor
Wes Becken of Universal City, has also lent its support towards this effort.
We are now at a critical juncture! ACCD is currently undertaking a serious look at
various sites for a new campus. Some members of the ACCD Board of Trustees have
provided a positive endorsement for this new campus. And the strong show of support
that came at the December luncheon has also helped move the decision to this point.
However, we now need the personal endorsement and support from each city. Towards
that end, Mr. Ray Thomas, Chairman of the Ad-Hoc Committee for the Procurement of
the College, and myself are requesting that each city, at its next council meeting, prepare
a proclamation or written letter of endorsement. It is only through such written
documents and, I might add, personal appearances at the monthly meeting of the ACCD
Board of Trustees that we can accomplish this task.
TimiD!!: is critical! Now is the time to act!
I know that we can count on your continued support to help us achieve the end goal of the
location of the Alamo Community College District campus in the Metrocom area. Please
call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
~eY'CAE
Executive Director
