Kong Vang <br />319 Savage Lane <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />City Administrator <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Rd. <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />December 6°i, 2012 <br />Dear City Administrator: <br />This is my letter of interest for the Little Canada Planning Commission. Throughout <br />my adult life, I have always thought about what I can do to give back to the community, <br />thus I made the decision to become an educator. <br />Beyond the education arena I have made strong investments in each community that I <br />have been a part of since college. As a graduate of the University of Minnesota — Twin <br />Cities, 1 was heavily active in student organization and sat on a budget committee that <br />made recommendations on how to distribute the student service fees. This budget <br />committee was responsible for fees that total more than one million dollars. During my <br />four years in Washington DC, I took part of a Local non - profit mentoring program to help <br />at -risk youth succeed in school and their neighborhood. <br />In Madison, Wisconsin I became even more involve and participated in my neighborhood <br />association in an effort to create a safer environment in a historically high crime and <br />drug - infested area. I was also active in the South Madison Metro Region Planning <br />Council, a group that met monthly to discuss strategies to increase the economic, social, <br />and environmental health of the region. In addition, I was an active advisory board <br />member for the Madison College Communities of Color Advisory Council, where we <br />took part in conversations with the College administrators and board members. We <br />advised them on recommendations to where the school can make gains and increase their <br />enrollment. <br />Please consider me as a candidate for the Planning Commission as I look forward to offer <br />my experience and knowledge to the city. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kong Vang <br />18 <br />
