Dear Fellow Commission Members:
The City of Coon Rapids Human Rights Commission is constantly
looking for ways to serve our community. In past years our quest
has taken us into many different areas, including a video written
and performed by members of our Commission on the Human Rights Act.
We are again looking for new and create ways to educate our
community in human rights. We are requesting that you please take
a few minutes and share with us any special projects or events your
commission may have done. Your comments on any concerns or
problems you may have faced when implementing the project would
also be helpful .
Thank you very kindly for your time and consideration in responding
to our request. A self addressed stamped envelope is enclosed for
your convenience.
Yours very truly,
