The Steering Committee of the West County Coalition to Inform Voters (WCCIV) wants to remind you of the West County Special Election Summit Conference on Saturday, September 17, 2005 at Easter Hill United Methodist Church, 3911 Cutting Blvd. in Richmond. This event will inform West County voters on the issues in the Special Election on November 8 and provide an opportunity to discuss the propositions that will be decided by that election. We would very much like to fill the church hall, so please encourage all of your friends and members of your organization to attend. As you know, we all have a lot at stake in this Special Election. For more information please contact me at <ranii@aol.com> or 510-235-1184.

EAST BROTHER LIGHTHOUSE

Maintaining a lighthouse is a never-ending task. The keepers of old were nicknamed "wickies" because of all of the time they spent trimming the wicks of the oil lamp so to keep the light strong and bright. While the old oil lamps are now history, the work of the lighthouse remains constant.

There is need for all sorts of volunteers amongst the East Brother Light Station "Wickies" of today. The tasks include everything from cleaning windows to diesel mechanics. Painting, gardening, carpentry, inventorying; whatever your skills or energy level, there's a place for you. Workdays are usually the second Saturday of the month, weather permitting.


September Wickie Day! September 17, 2005 08:55 AM TO 3:30 PM
CHANGE IN SCHEDULE! The regular Wickie Workday on the Island for September will be the *third* Saturday rather than our normal second. Join us on September 17th for a combined workday and party -- we'll work in the morning, and relax afterwards with one of Capt. Lucien's culinary masterpieces for lunch. RSVPs are required. Questions? Call me: Volunteer administrator: Mikael Blaisdell, Email: mikael@mblaisdell.com, Phone: 510.865.4515.
