Other than that, let’s keep looking forward to this Saturday’s historic groundbreaking (if you are counting, that is less than three days to go)! If you’re a Facebook addict whose schedule revolves around RSVPing to events, good news for you: click here for the Facebook event page.

We look forward to seeing you and other supporters there, as well as the folks who made it happen on the legislative level – like Congress members Judy Chu, David Dreier, Adam Schiff, and Grace Napolitano; State legislators Carol Liu, Mike Eng, Dr. Ed Hernandez, and Anthony Portantino; and local elected officials like Mike Antonovich and John Fasana.
