"Hi, Annabelle.
 
Being new to the Permaculture community, I'm reading up on some interesting threads. I live in Gilbert & hadn't heard anything about this. It's been 8 months now; has there been any more activity by the council?
 
I love the sounds…"

"I agree that showing up in person really gets their interest. Being there in person demonstrates how improtant the issue is to you. But I would also urge you to not just show up in person, but to ALSO send in letters or personally call town staff…"

"Well, they are making a "study". Reviewing additional "information". Not sure that they won't tackle it later."

"Thanks!"

"Thanks! Please email our Town Council even if you don't live in Gilbert."

"Thanks! Please email the Town Council eben if you don't live in Gilbert."

"Thanks!"

"As a matter of fact I have two beautiful ones. Top milking lines. You can see pictues @ www.veteransranch.com or call me 480-694-8513."

"great letter, now mobilize with likeminded residents and show up for council meetings :)"

"I think the problem here is not with the politicians, but rather the people who move to areas and attempt to change them. There are many examples in the east valley of developers creating communities next to dumps, dairies, junk yards, and other…"

"Excellent! Thank you so very much!
Hopefully, you can spare a few minutes and go with neighbors to a Town meeting.

I see your face is a Nubian. I have Nubians,too. :)"

"The letter I just sent to our mayor and the members of the town council:

Dear Mr. Lewis and Members of the Gilbert Town Council,

My husband and I chose to purchase our Gilbert home in 2008. We made this decision because Gilbert possesses a…"

"Thank you so much! Please don't forget to email the Town Coucil. They have heard it from me. Rumor has it somebody lives near peacocks and they are in the chopping block, too. Make time to go to any Town Council meeting and speak up. At the begining…"
