SB CAN’s Annual Membership Meeting
Our annual membership meeting previously scheduled for June 27, will be rescheduled for later this fall in Lompoc. Instead, SB CAN members and staff joined with other concerned residents at West Beach on June 27 to stand in support of oil spill victims along the gulf of Mexico. Visit www.standinthesand.com for more information about the event and news coverage.
SB CAN Awarded Grant from The Fund For Santa Barbara
SB CAN was awarded $8000 in grant funding in June from the Fund for Santa Barbara for our "Lompoc Livable Communities and Civic Engagement Program." Lompoc Valley is surrounded by beautiful hills, rich farm lands, and the Pacific Ocean. It has a rich cultural heritage, including Philippians, African Americans, Portuguese, Hmong, Latinos, Italians, and Native Ammericans. But Lompoc faces many challenges, including high local unemployment, a large number of residents who commute out of the community for work, and low involvement in local government. Through a series of forums and workshops, this program is designed to help local residents to become more involved in solving local problems, and to give them the tools they need to have a strong voice to effect positive change.
