CHAN-GRAM April 4, 2008
Hi everyone -
Campaign volunteers are now talking to several hundred people a day. In addition to making phone calls Monday-Thursday evenings, we’re adding hours on Saturday and Sunday. I’ve been making calls too but the beautiful weather will probably get me out and walking door to door this weekend.
Our latest activity, “Phonebank in a Box” lets us set up phone banks in Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley (so far) as well as at coffee get-togethers in the homes of supporters.
We welcome two new Campaign Team members – Wayne and Isela. When you get their calls in the next few days to lend a hand, please be as generous with your time as possible.
This week I got to take an evening off from the campaign to present Dr. Barbara Staggers with the 2008 Public Health Heroes Award at the annual ceremony hosted by the UC Berkeley School of Public Health. Barbara is one of my heroes for her work on behalf of teenagers. I named her as the 16h Assembly District ‘Woman of the Year’ in 2006.
Raising money continues via on-line efforts and events. Our goal is to raise $50,000 before the next deadline for reporting donations Please take a moment to donate $25, $100 or up to $3600 by clicking here: http://www.wilmachan.org
Warmly,
Wilma
