Santa Clara County Initiative Small Group Meeting

October 9, 2007

**Please feel free to forward.**

Hello my Santa Clara County comrades!

Thank you so much for agreeing to *represent* Santa Clara County during the

next 5 months by collecting signatures for the initiative.

As someone who has seen the frustration in the eyes of calves raised for veal

who can't even turn around, the pain in the eyes of the mother pigs who struggle

to stand and the hens caked with manure who struggle to even spread a wing in

the battery cage-- all in California, the initiative seems like a reality that

can't come quickly enough!

I am the Santa Clara coordinator and am really looking forward for us all to

be a great team!

Even though we will not have the petitions in hand by Thursday, i would like

for us all to meet to brainstorm on upcoming events, locations where we can

collect and delegate locations, times, etc. (to the extent that we can).

When: Thursday, October 11 6:30pm

Where: International Veggie House, San Jose (520 E. Santa Clara)

Please bring calendars, location ideas and your enthusiasm!

If you have questions, i can be reached at 530.848.4021.

Please RSVP by Thursday at noon so i can make reservations.

If you can't make the meeting but are interested in helping to collect

signatures Saturday at the San Jose Pumpkin Festival, please let me know. It is

from 10-4pm.

Thanks so much and i look forward to seeing you then.

For the animals,
