Dear Ms. Bell,    
</p><p>
The Coalition for a Livable Future is pleased to support the efforts of
Try/on Life Community Farm to preserve it in perpetuity for affordable
housing, farming, natural ecosystems, experiential education, and
sustainable urban living.
</p><p>
Formed in 1994, the Coalition for a Livable Future (CLF) is a
partnership of approximately 60 community organizations working together
to protect, restore, and maintain healthy, equitable, and sustainable
communities, both human and natural, for the benefit of present and
future residents of the greater Portland metropolitan region.     
</p><p>
The Try/on Life Community Farm's vision and innovative approach to        
education, urban farming and land stewardship are strongly aligned with
CLF's mission and objectives. Therefore, we support the efforts to
sustain this unique community resource and project.
</p><p>
Sincerely,
</p><p>
Jill Fuglister<br />
Executive Director
