Meridian, ID 83642
Dear Mayor Tammy,
Please accept this letter of interest for the current vacancy on the City of Meridian's Parks and
Recreation Commission. I have been a Meridian resident for a little more than a year. Through
work, play and professional associations, I already know my family picked the best place to live
in Treasure Valley.
My first family outing upon moving to this vibrant and growing city was to Settlers Park, As I
walked through the park's amazing play areas watching my 8 year-old daughter smile ear -to -
ear, and as I read the sign on how the park came to be, I knew right then and there I wanted to
do more than just live and work in. my new community — I wanted to participate in groups that
made things happen.
Through my current job at Broadview University, I have been able to do a lot of different things.
I have met all kinds of people, participated in all kinds of different community events, and have
become an active member of the Meridian Chamber of Commerce. I am a firm believer in
community Involvement and giving back. My philosophy is to participate in the process and try
to make a difference. Serving as a citizen volunteer on the Parks & Recreation Commission
would be an excellent opportunity for me to practice my philosophy and beliefs.
Thank you for accepting this letter of interest. It is my sincere desire to become more involved
in my new city — and continue to help Meridian grow.
Sincereln �d yespectf IV,
Tiffany Mbp tiff
