Signature collection for the Ballot Initiative

Folks: We received the go-ahead from Riverbank earlier this week to begin collecting signatures again for the Ballot Initiative. Given that, the contractor came to Riverbank yesterday to get several of his staff started. Currently they are working in front of CVS, Dollar Tree, Target, Save Mart and the Post Office. We also have information posted on our Facebook page re: this (VotersForFarmland).

Barney is also checking with the Perko’s Restaurant to see if they will allow it so that could become a 6th location (O’Brien’s Market is no longer allowing signature gathering out front, unfortunately). The contractor is very experienced and he hopes to wrap it up within 2 months so fingers crossed!

While that’s great news, we still need to assemble volunteers to help canvass neighborhoods to help gather signatures as well. Doing this not only helps us meet the minimum # faster, but it saves us a LOT of money. I will send out another email re: organizing this effort right away so stay tuned.

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions, Jami
