UFW Reception in Fresno Thursday May 25th
Reminder Community Alliance Fundraiser
San Francisco on Earth Day!
Dear Friends of the Center: Lots of events going on. Here is one about a rally and march in San Francisco. If you are interested see Ron Martin’s information at the end of the post.
Angela:
Join us at the rally and march at the federal EPA building in San Francisco to support environmental protection. Call me at (559) 222-5524 to take part in our carpool to San Francisco, leaving Fresno at 7:00 A.M. Friday, April 21 for the noon rally. If enough people want to chip in $15 to rent a van for us, that is a possibility. We’ll be back in Fresno in time to get rest before Earth Day Fresno at Radio Park the next day.
