Volunteers needed for homeless count
We encourage you to help out with the 2020 Point-in-Time Count.
The following is information from Home for Good Santa Barbara County:
VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED FOR THE 2020 POINT-IN-TIME COUNT.
The Point-In-Time Count is the annual count of individuals and families experiencing homelessness on a given day. The Santa Barbara County effort will take place on Wednesday, January 29 from 5:30am-8:30am. Teams of volunteers and experts will canvas assigned routes throughout the county and will briefly document who is experiencing homeless. This information can be used to plan local homeless assistance systems and raise public awareness. Volunteer trainings will be held in January. Join us today. Change doesn’t happen without you.

SBCAN Membership Renewal for 2020
Dear Friend --
We at Santa Barbara County Action Network appreciate the support you have shown us over the years that has made it possible for us to continue nurturing our strong local network of progressive folks and creating bridges between environmental and social justice activism.
For eighteen years Santa Barbara County Action Network (SBCAN) has been the preeminent nonprofit organization working on both sustainability and social justice issues throughout the county.
We have many partner organizations, to be sure, but we always strive to be countywide and working on a wide range of progressive issues—especially looking for issues that might fall through the cracks otherwise. Please look at the attached inventory of what we have been working on. We are especially proud of our leadership on several North County issues.
In spring of 2020 we will convene our annual Membership Meeting in Los Olivos and we really hope we will see you there. We will schedule the meeting to occur after the primary election in March, and we'll let you know when a date has been set.
With increasing competition for foundation support, we are all the more reliant on our members, major donors, and fundraisers. Therefore, we hope that you will make a membership donation that suits your budget and helps SBCAN continue its educational and advocacy roles.
It is easy—as always—to contribute at: https://sbcan.nationbuilder.com/membership_annual_dues.
There is also an option for automatic monthly payments athttps://sbcan.nationbuilder.com/membership_monthly_dues.
Alternatively, you can mail a check to P.O. Box 6174, Santa Maria, CA 93456.
We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at our annual membership meeting.
Sincerely,
Janet Blevins and Dick Flacks, Co-Presidents
