Dear Friends and Colleagues,
As our legislators continue to debate over a final budget, LIF continues to work hard to ensure the effective passage of our most pressing legislative priorities. I thank you all for your support in pushing this year's legislation, particularly our Prepaid Phone card bill (AB 2885) and the CA Clean Energy Curriculum & Training Initiative of 2008 (AB 2224). Please continue to stay tuned for upcoming action alerts to keep these bills moving forward.
I am also glad to report on a new LIF partnership with Radio Bilingue, a non-profit radio network and the only national distributor of Spanish-language programming in public radio. I am confident that this new collaboration will prove to be an integral part of LIF's commitment to the Latino community.
We have a lot of exciting events planned for the rest of the year, including LIF's 20th anniversary celebrations. I hope to see you at one of the following events:
LIF 20th Anniversary Cocktail Reception
October 1, 2008
City Club, San Francisco, CA
LIF Legislative Symposium
October 7, 2008
Sacramento, California
LIF 20th Anniversary Cocktail Reception
October 16, 2008
City Club, Los Angeles, CA
Additional information on the above events will be forthcoming shortly.
Sincerely,
Nora E. Vargas
Executive Director
