JLA Alert 1

Dear friends,

Events are proceeding in a positive channel. Our voice is being heard and responded to by other segments of the community. Our next step is to build consensus within the community so that we could approach Intrawest as a united front. The ball is in our court. We need to demonstrate to persons outside our membership that we have a stake in this community.

There are many ways of doing this, which I will discuss at a later time. For starters, it is our suggestion that you show your support to the June Lake Volunteer Fire Department by sending a donation to it care of the JLA (P.O. Box 610, June Lake, CA 93529) immediately. The proceeds will be presented to the department, as a gesture of goodwill, at the Firemen's Barbecue this Saturday, August 14. Donations need to be in the mail by Wednesday, August 11 to reach June Lake before the barbecue. And if you are in the area on Saturday, come to Gull Lake Park for some of the county's best BBQ and top-class raffle prizes. I'll be the one with the funny hats, selling raffle tickets.

It is my contention that had we made more of an effort to support and participate in the community all along, the problems we face with Intrawest may have been avoided. It is now time for us to make amends.

Thank you for your support.
