SF Green Party had a great time last Saturday at the Earth Day
Celebration in Civic Center. The crowds were huge. We had good support
from Single Payer Now. Thanks to Barry Hermanson for getting things
set up; and for the really fine work of new SF Green member Charles
Byrne on the Earth Day SFGP brochure. Thanks also to Rich, Yolanda,
Charles, Denise & David P. along with the Single Payer volunteers for
helping at the table. We could use about 20 more of you at these
events. Contact cc at sfgreens.org to help out. It is a lot of fun! It
