Election Day - Request from Lisa Shaffer

OMG . . . OMG . . . OMG  Did you think it would ever end? Editor

Lisa's requests: 
Bring Back Campaign Signs
Sign Collection Saturday, Nov. 10. This campaign has been too costly and too dirty. In an effort to clean things up, I'm asking everyone who has a Shaffer for Council campaign sign to bring it to one of the following collection points on Saturday, Nov. 10. We're selling the metal holders back to a distributor and donating the corrugated plastic signs to art programs for re-use. Thanks to my volunteers for their help.
  • New Encinitas, in front of Flora Vista on Wandering Lane 10:00 - 12:00 
  • Historic Encinitas, D Street Park (across from the library) 12:00 - 2:00 
 Bring Food
Food Collection. When you bring your campaign signs on November 10, please also bring a food donation for the many in need. The food will be donated to the Community Resource Center in Encinitas. Non-perishable items including canned goods, rice, beans, cooking oil, etc. are in constant demand. 
Even if you don't have a sign to recycle, we welcome your contributions. It's a small attempt to offset the enormous expenditures that go into political campaigns.

Councilwoman Teresa Barth will be at a collection site.  she had this to say in her Nov.3 newsletter:

Community Resource Center's Annual Holiday Baskets Program is set to serve a record number of local families in need this winter, but still expects to turn away hundreds of families because of low food supplies! Because of ongoing food shortages, CRC has ZERO supplies for Holiday Baskets again this year, so FOOD DONATIONS are a critical need.

Please spread the word! 

I will be looking for volunteers to join me at the distribution site. More info to come after the election!
