> The first phase of our petition drive is going very well.  We are  
> almost
> half way to our goal of 500 signatures by the end of next week.   
> With 3
> signing events this weekend we should be able to make our goal.
>
> Once we reach 500 we turn them in to the County.  At that point we  
> must stop
> collecting signatures for up to 30 days while the County verifies the
> petition.   After we get the ok, we must then collect 30,000  
> signatures in
> 90 days.  We are going to time this so we start the major collection  
> right
> after the first of the year.  We are going to need a lot of help then.
>
> During December we will be holding training sessions so that our  
> volunteers
> are ready to collect immediately in January.  We will be looking for
> volunteers to make phone calls, gather signatures, host signing  
> events, and
> volunteer at large signing events.   If you would like to help in  
> any way,
