Dear Mayor and City Council members:

( {fy

of

Carmel by the Sea

N2 n5

Received by

ity lerk

Attached

is

my application to be considered for a position on the Community Activities & Cultural Commission.

My

husband's family has deep roots

in

Carmel, and when

we

were dating, he made

it

clear that Carmel

was

the only place

he wanted to ever call home. I grew up in the Bay Area, but from the first time I visited, I knew exactly what he meant.

We moved

home

in 2003, to raise our family, and plant our own roots in the community. Within the first week, my

husband volunteered

to

be a defensive coach

for

the Carmel High Varsity football team, and I reached out

to

local

community choral groups to find places to sing. Carmel

is

special, not just because

of

the beautiful landscape and

breathtaking views, but by what the community has to offer. My husband was already established here, but what I found

was

a warm, welcoming community filled with passionate people and a plethora of opportunities

to

be involved. Living in

Car mel

has

made me feel

as

if

I am a part

of

something greater than myself. I

want to

give back

to

my community, and I

feel joining the Community Activities & Cultural Commission

is

the best fit to utilize my skills and talents to serve Carmel.

I'd like to share with you a story of the day I knew Carmel was more than just a little city by the sea . A few years

ago, I was a school chaperone

for

a walking field

trip

from River School to downtown Carmel. With 24 enthusiastic third

grade

rs

, we walked- first through the Mission Trails, where we stopped and admired local birds,

and

greeted walkers

and

their

dogs. Our fir st official stop

was the

Outdoor Forest Theater, where we stopped

to

look at the memorial site

of

"Pal"

and learn about Carmel's dog. There were builders working on the set for the next production, and they

gave

us a tour of

the stage and set. They even

took

our picture Our next stop was supposed to be

the

Murphy House, but as we walked

past the fire station, a young firefighter stopped us and said, "Hello, Miss Gillooly " The students were shocked that this

man knew their teacher's name. It turns

out

, he had been a third grader at River School, and Miss Gillooly had been his

teacher

tool

The fire chief came

out with

little plastic fire hats, and we

got

a

tour

of the fire truck. They

also

took our

picture. Elated, we continued on, when an older man approached and said, "Hello, Pam "

Miss

Gillooly began to cry. It

was

HER

third grade teacher, from when she was a student at Woods School in Carmel. He told us stories of field trips

he

took with his

class

around Carmel.

He

gave the

class

advice. We, of course,

took

a picture. We arrived late

to

the

Murphy House, and

as

we approached, an old man with a scraggly beard was sitting outside polishing shells. He called

himself "Abalone Joe".

He

told the kids stories about abalone fishing, and ga ve us a little history about Carmel and

abalone. He taught the kids "The Abalone Song".

We

did eventually take

our tour

of

the

Murphy House, but what I took

away

that

day was far greater than the history lesson. Carmel isn't just a place to visit, or a place to live. It's a place to

belong.

That

is

why I want

to

be a

part

of the Community Activities Cultural Commission. The local events and cultural

activiti

es

define who

we

are

as

a community. We need

to

strive

to

maintain

the

greatness that is Carmel's history, but

also be open

to

fresh ideas that

our

next generations can build upon.

I look forward to talking with you about this opportunity.

Please

feel free to contact me with any questions.

Stacy Meheen
