DEMOCRATIC WOMEN OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY ENDORSE IN SANTA BARBARA CITY COUNCIL RACE

Democratic Women of Santa Barbara County unanimously endorsed the re-election of Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider and Councilmember Bendy White for the Nov. 5, 2013 citywide election. This vote to endorse is a continued tradition of Democratic Women being early strong supporters of candidates who share their values.

The Coalition Against Gun Violence (CAGV), a Santa Barbara County Coalition, is sponsoring a Community Forum, “The High Cost of Gun Violence,” Thursday, February 21, 2013 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Faulkner Gallery of Santa Barbara’s Main Library, free and open to the public. Our moderator, Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider, will be joined by a number of distinguished panelists to discuss one of the most critical issues facing our nation.

Proposed by-laws change:

"Officers may be re-elected to the same position, generally not to exceed two consecutive terms. However, the Board of Directors, on a case-by-case basis, may decide to recommend a longer term. A recommendation for a longer term will need to be presented to the general membership at the Annual Meeting in conformity with the provisions of Article IV."
