Kelly would be advocate for Saratoga Springs

I hope you are all planning on voting this November. It is important, especially in this day and age, for us all to exercise our constitutional rights and do our civic duty.

I also hope that you will vote for Meg Kelly for Mayor.

I have had the honor to know Meg Kelly for many years and I have never met a more intelligent, dedicated, and resourceful person.

Many of you know her as our current Deputy Mayor or from her years as an expert golf instructor.

I first met Meg through her not-for-profit organization: The Saratoga Children’s Theater(SCT).

Before SCT there weren’t many choices for “Theater Kids” like my daughter to express themselves and learn their craft and Meg saw that need in this city and did something about it.

In a short time, the organization grew from serving 20 kids to over 1500 kids offering summer camps as well as main stage shows throughout the year, all the while not just teaching theater skills but also promoting team-building, unity, public speaking, community service and anti-bullying lessons. My daughter has done over 20 shows with SCT and has thrived with both the theater skills and the life skills she’s been given.

Being of little means, we couldn’t always afford a summer camp or a workshop, but Meg Kelly always helped families like mine with scholarships. She believed that every child should have the same opportunity regardless of their financial situation.

Aside from her compassion, I was always impressed by her organizational skills as well as her fierce determination.

I think she would be an outstanding advocate for the citizens of Saratoga Springs. Alison Leske Saratoga Springs
