RESTORING THE CROSS TO THE SEAL OF L.A. COUNTY

A Report from a Slice of Districts 60 and 59-- Whittier &
area:

We urge workers throughout L.A. County to keep up your
good efforts!

As of July 19, turned in to me here in Whittier, has
been a grand total of 134 petitions, which represents
over 2,000 signatures. Some have told me that they
have mailed in their forms, but I have no real way of
counting those.

Last Thursday Mary Ellis and I spent 2 hours by Trader
Joe's market in Whittier on Whittier Blvd. & Colima
Rd. Between us, we gathered 50-60 signatures. A real
highlight occurred when a 95 year old lady stopped
what she was doing to park her walker by us. She
wanted to sign the petition.

MARY ELLIS & BARBARA MARING are going out to concerts
in the park to get signatures. Last Monday, however,
an official told them they needed a permit to do this,
unless they were on the sidewalk.

PASTOR SAM GAMBOA and his church run a taco stand
during some city festivities, while also gathering
enough signatures to fill 12 petitions.

EVELYN BRADLEY wanted more petitions to take to a
civic event in Downey.

CAROL REZA runs a fine Christian ministry boutique
store in Whittier. At the counter she has her
petitions ready. Already she has sent in several
completed forms.

PASTOR CHARLEY GALLEGOS is having a "SAVE THE CROSS'
Rally at his church on Friday, August 12, 7 pm at his
church Destiny Community Church in Whittier. He
hopes to spread the word and gather many signatures
for the petition.

Several pastors in churches in the Whittier Area have
set ambitious goals for themselves. As a whole we are
aiming for 5,000 to 10,000 signatures from the
Whittier Area!

We send out this word from Whittier to encourage
churches and other volunteers that this noble endeavor
is worth the effort and not to "grow weary in
well-doing."
