Yesterday’s gathering got a nice blurb at BurbankSoup. The article also includes some good background on the winter homeless shelter we so strongly oppose. Thanks Maryellen!

Now is the time to let our voices be heard. This Tuesday (11-25-2008) at 6:00 there is a Burbank City Council meeting. Please join your fellow burbank citizens in speaking out about the planed homeless shelter so close to our neighborhood. We’ll be presenting our letter to the Mayor with all of the signatures we’ve collected so far.

This note is to inform you that the members of the City Council of Burbank approved the use of the National Guard Armory next to Pacific Park as a winter HOMELESS SHELTER for alcohol and drugs addicts. The homeless are from all over the Los Angeles area. (less than 12% are from Burbank)

Wow!. What a day. We had an amazing turnout at our community gathering today at Pacific Park. Between 35 and 50 people came together to sign our letter to the Mayor and to voice their concerns for the neighborhood. We would like to thank Councilman Dr. David Gordon for coming to the event to inform us on the Armory shelter issue and other issues confronting Burbank. Everyone was allowed to ask questions, and express their concerns for safety and future for our children and our neighborhood.
