Pathways of Peace is a replica of the National Tree exhibit near the ellipse of the White House during the holidays. Our version will bring together the community and incorporate the students from classrooms at Franklin Elementary School, Santa Barbara Junior High, and Santa Barbara High School to provide the tree decorations and artwork needed to produce the replica. There will be 56 trees placed at Franklin Elementary School. They will represent the 50 states, five territories and the District of Columbia. This community event will also feature various food, games, and music. Te event is a fundraiser to support the Diabetes Resource Center and Franklin Elementary School programs. The Diabetes Resource Center of Santa Barbara County is now piloting a model prevention program: the Eastside Childhood Obesity Prevention and Wellness Initiative. The program is being implemented at Franklin with support from the Cottage Hospital and the Santa Barbara City School District to take preventative action to forestall the development of adult onset diabetes in our youth. The event will take place on both Saturday, December 19th and Sunday, December 20th from 4:00pm – 10:00pm.

Event TODAY at El Musico

[Today], Maria, the owner of El Musico, is hosting an event to have
Dale Francisco come speak to the Eastside. Maria was at the Marijuana
Mile march a week ago, and heard Dale speak on this issue, and liked his
stance. She said the Eastside is getting bombarded with ads and signs,
but candidates haven't been doing much to woo the neighborhood. Now that
it is being overrun with dispensaries, it's time for a change.

Dale has been taking a strong stance on medical marijuana during the
ordinance committee meetings, stating that dispensaries are in conflict
with state law, and either need to be true collectives, or banned.

The Eastside is often neglected by candidates due to low voter turnout
statistics. Yet this neighborhood has strong concerns from both
residents and businesses. Since a candidate for mayor is willing to come
talk to us about what he would do for us if elected, I think we should
put him to the test by coming to the event and asking questions. Maria
is encouraging everyone to attend.

Please send this on to as many Eastside folks as you like, and encourage
them to come. Ricardo, this would be a good opportunity for outreach
from the Franklin Center Advisory Committee, and a chance to represent
yourselves to a sitting council member. By making our names, faces, and
concerns known to a current councilman and candidate for mayor, we are
only helping our neighborhood.
