I Stand With the Mosaic Project

With respect to the MAC Meeting/The Mosaic Project article on November 16th, I’d like to express my unwavering support for what I think will be an amazing gift to Castro Valley and the Bay Area at large.

I’ve been with Mosaic for 20 years. I started as a camp counselor in the very first pilot session of Mosaic in 2001 and now serve on its board of directors.

In these trying times, with a 2-year pandemic and a war in Ukraine, I’ve become more and more convinced that human connection and empathy is in far too short supply and results in too high of a cost for us and for society. It is precisely that ability of Mosaic - to have us connect with each other - that makes it one of the most important things that we can support.

I understand that continued dialogue is necessary around the EIR, but I hope that all parties can come with an open heart to work together in earnest for the good of our community.
