TO EVERYONE WHO THINKS OUR TREES
SHOULD BE A MAJOR ISSUE IN OUR
UPCOMING SANTA MONICA CITY COUNCIL
ELECTION ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 :
Treesavers will be holding a major, free-to-the-public evening of "tree speech" for all official Santa Monica City Council candidates---
"Santa Monica City Council Candidates Forum On Our Trees and Tree- Related Issues"
Thursday, August 14, 2008
6:30 PM until 9:00 PM
Ken Edwards Center Rooms 100-A and 100-B
1527 Fourth Street,Santa Monica
Free-to-the-public
Free on-site parking
Each candidate will have equal time for:
- opening statement
- closing statement
- questions from the public
- questions from other candidates
Candidate filing begins July 14 and ends August 8. Good luck to all candidates, including incumbents and new Council hopefuls.
There are many important issues and certainly our trees are a major one of deep community concern.
More details will be forthcoming but start networking this information now.
This will likely be the first of the candidate forums. We hope City TV or The League of Women Voters or maybe even a local paper will consider starting a Candidate Forum Master Calendar for coordination purposes.
Thank you and don't forget to register to vote!
