SF GREEN PARTY NEWS:

The Green Party had a great time last Sun. 4/14 at Sunday Streets on
24th @ Shotwell.  The crowds of people walking, biking and roller
blading in the streets were very rewarding to watch.  Thanks to
John-Marc & Yolanda for getting things set up, and to Barry for
getting GREAT new 10 Key Value cards printed up--we gave away dozens
and dozens of them and watched as people walked away reading them.
Many people over the years have joined the GP because of our 10 Key
Values that guide us.  And thanks to Rich (great buttons!!!), Vicki,
John-Marc & daughter Amy, Sandra and new Greens Preston and Charles
for helping at the table.
