Dear Members,

Our pony drivers will be at your site on Wednesday the 25^th to deliver their monthly package. If you could have your ballots for our CEA election and the ballots for the pay warrant ready for them to pick up that would be awesome. If not please bring both of them to the rep meeting on the 30^th. Thank you!

Dear Members,

Please help out with Measure H our Bond. We need you to sign up and help with phone banking. We cannot get this passed without your help! 

It is not too late to turn in your signatures for the tax initiative. You may bring them by the office by Monday the 23^rd. This initiative needs to be on the ballot as we could be looking at a 22 billion dollar deficit for the state of California this year. I would hate to think what this could mean to us if we cannot get this passed.

We need to know if you will be attending our recognition dinner on May 24^th at Michaels in Mountain View. We have invited all of our retirees and feel that this will be a very special evening. We planned it on a Thursday, as Friday is a learning day. Please let us know ASAP whether you can attend this Memorable Event as we have limited space and it is filling up fast!

The district will be posting their "Open Transfer" list soon. We will also post these on our web page throughout the entire process. We did this last year and it was very successful. This takes the through the summer as we post the list on a weekly basis.
