Weekend Update August 7

PETITION DRIVE TOPS 4,000 SIGNATURES


As reported in the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot, we have crossed the 4,000 mark on our petition drive! Volunteer coordinator Jeff Delancy was out and about this past weekend all around town and spent Saturday morning at Laguna's popular farmers market where he received huge support and lots of signatures from many shoppers.

We are in the final month of our signature gathering effort. If you have not signed a petition yet or would like to help gather some signatures on your own, simply go to our website www.savetheboom.com and click on "sign our petition" and print out your very own own copy. Sign the top line and get up to four more signers who also want to save the historic Coast Inn and Boom Boom Room and mail it back to the address on the bottom of the petition. It will greatly help in our efforts.

SAVING THE BOOM IN THE WINDY CITY

Dave Mawer called Saturday to report that he was wearing his bright yellow SAVE the BOOM!!! t-shirt in Chicago and was greeted by throngs of supporters asking "what was going on with the Boom?" and "How can we help?" looks like the campaign is spreading its wings around the country. That along with expanded press coverage in Washington, DC, Houston, San Francisco and San Diego is truly making this a national effort.
