26 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Letter of Recommendation <br /> <br /> <br />Logan Crow <br />Executive Director. Founder <br />(323) 428-7411 <br />logan@thefridacinema.org <br />305 E. 4th Street STE 100 <br />Santa Ana, CA 92701 <br />January 7, 2022 <br />Julie Castro <br />Community Redevelopment Agency <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Good day Julie, <br />With deep and heartfelt sincerity, I am writing today to communicate my fullest endorsement of Jose Romo, <br />and his noted and long-established commitment to the Downtown Santa Ana community. <br />Jose was one of the first people I had the good fortune to meet when I first set out to establish The Frida <br />Cinema in Downtown Santa Ana, and he enthusiastically walked me around town and introduced me to some <br />of the key downtown stakeholders who I continue to work with nine years later. Since that day, I have reached <br />out to Jose for support on multiple occasions, and have always been met with prompt responsiveness, an <br />enthusiastic commitment to service, and his familiar smile and affability. When I am reached out to by a <br />fledgling event planner for advice, the first person I refer them to is Jose. He is essentially the signature <br />steward of our community, always on hand to do what he can to support the initiatives of event planners, <br />community organizers, and our family of downtown businesses. <br />I have joked with Jose that I’m convinced he has clones, not only because he is often hard at work on multiple <br />endeavors and initiatives all at once, but more so because as seriously as he takes his work, he never seems <br />to break a sweat. I believe that’s because he truly enjoys the work, as it is all in service of enriching and <br />enhancing the community he loves, and the neighboring business owners whose success he truly cares about. <br />Jose is at once a dedicated caretaker, ambassador, and custodian – and again, always with a smile. <br />Jose is an indispensable asset to our community, and he has more than proven the value of, and his dedication <br />to, the initiatives he sets out to accomplish. I wholeheartedly encourage you to give Jose Romo and his <br />proposals your highest consideration. Should you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to get in <br />touch, as it would be my honor to further communicate my praise of Jose and the quality of his work and <br />service. <br />Most sincerely, <br />Logan Crow <br />Executive Director <br />THEFRIDACINEMA.ORG <br />Founded in 2014, The Frida Cinema is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit art house cinema dedicated to <br />enriching, connecting, and educating communities through the art of cinema. <br />Tax ID 27-0950151 <br />EXHIBIT 2
