Bus to Sacramento on Tuesday June 29

We need a large turnout of SB 810 supporters in Sacramento at the Assembly Healthcare Committee hearing on SB 810 on June 29.

It is important for legislators to see a large turnout. 

The committee meeting starts at 1:30.   Before the meeting, we will deliver 2000 SB 810 postcards to 80 assembly offices.

We will leave SF at 10am sharp and should return by 5:30.

The bus will pick up on Fulton between Larkin and Hyde.

That is between the library and the Asian Art Museum, and one block from the Civic Center BART stop.

You must RSVP.  Contact Don Bechler at 415-810-5826 or by email at dbechler@value.net   

Lunches will be served on the way to Sacramento and snacks on the return trip.

We pass the hat on the bus.  Give what you can – it costs us about $30 per person for the bus and lunch.  Our priority is to have a large turnout in Sacramento.

We will leave from Ashby BART at 10:30am sharp. 

Contact Jodi Reid from the California Alliance for Retired Americans if you want to leave from the Ashby BART station.

She can be reached at 415- 515-2156 or by email at jreid@californiaalliance.org

Or you can respond to this email this week.

It would be helpful if you could contact us this week so we know how many buses to reserve.
