GWPNA February Meeting

Posted on February 5, 2014 by Matt Chamberlain

6:30pm-8:30pm, 139 Lenox Way.  

Agenda will include:

  • Daniel Homsey from the San Francisco Neighborhood Empowerment Network (http://empowersf.org/) will speak about organizing our community for disaster preparedness both within Greater West Portal and working together with adjacent neighborhoods.  It’s an important topic since residents of all ages ought to know what resources we have (local doctors, emergency service professionals, able-bodied youth), where to go (clubhouse, library, or fire station?), as well as who would need the most help whether kids, seniors, or people who need language assistance.
  • Supervisor Scott Wiener and a representative from the Coalition for An Affordable City will present both sides on the proposed sugary beverage tax that you’ve probably heard of by now.  GWPNA member Joel Engardio’s column in today’s SF Examiner is a debate between Supervisor Wiener and he that offers a quick rundown of the key points both ways.  http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/sf-soda-tax-debate-with-supervisor-scott-wiener/Content?oid=2692711

Time permitting, we’re also hoping to review the latest developments on trees in Mt. Sutro and Mt. Davidson (please feel free to add links to recent articles on both sides for members to review in advance).
