It was inspiring to me to be with you all, and Valerie, I sure did miss you and so it's nice to hear that you were actually on your way. I like your "Car-free for 30 years."

THANK YOU!<br><br>Regarding the event on Sept.30:<br>- Twenty-two people, including special guest Laura Wells attended.

Also, several Green regulars from San Mateo were in attendance.<br><br>Considering the amount of invitations that were made and the publicity that was generated, the size of the attendance to hear and meet the Green Party Candidate for Governor was embarrassingly scant.

One thing she stressed was that she will continue campaigning as a candidate for Gov. throughout the next four years.<br><br>- There was a good sense of Green energy floating around.<br><br>- Tian Harter deserves much credit for printing and distributing 350 - 500 attractive invitation leaflets around the Mountain View - Palo Alto area. Approximatly 100 of the Willow Park Condo complex units were also leafleted. Thanks also to Caroline Yacoub who leafleted at the Sunnyvale Farmers Market. Then too, to Jim Doyle for his promotions and his soliciting and recording ID information from guests. And, Kudos to Dana and Gerry for the audio equipment.<br><br>- Gloria Purcell, former GP candidate for State Assembly added much interest serving as the ad hoc MC for much of the ado. (By the way, the sweatshirts she donated and auctioned off brought in $80 for Laura's campaign kitty)<br><br>- One of the brightest aspects of the whole evening was the great GENEROSITY of those who were in attendance. By the end of the evening the crowd contributed more than<br>$1,500 to Laura's campaign.
