Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Speak Up Newport appreciates the staff recommendation to waive the Community Room fees for the 10 programs a
year that Speak UP Newport sponsors for 2020-2021. Speak Up Newport is an organization for discussion of civic issues.
Speak Up Newport takes no position on the issues and presents them in a fair and balanced manner. When there are
two sides to the issue Speak Up Newport presents both sides. In addition, we sponsor the Annual Mayor's Dinner and
award scholarships to local high school seniors. This is all done with a 16 member volunteer board and no paid staff.
We would appreciate you approving the staff recommendation and look forward to continuing to present programs of
civic interest to all our residents and businesses.
Sincerely;
Edward Selich
President, Speak Up Newport
