Presidents Message
Ten down two more months to go So much to do so little time to do it We have a lot to accomplish before the year ends so Im going to need everyones help and support
If you missed last months meeting shame on you
The only thing I didnt do was my song and dance routine My explanation of the balanced budget came real close but I consider that more magic and hocus pocus
The official Wa Sung Name Badges are coming your way very soon so watch for the announcement Come to the next meeting and hear John Sue yelling Badges I don t need no stinkin badges All of you at the last meeting saw John got out voted so permanent badges will be here before the end of the year
Thanks to Stan Inverleith (Rose and Joe Fruci too) and John Sue for going down to the shed and cleaning it up Its a dirty job but someones got to do it
Heres a preview of upcoming meetings See a turkey fly (just in case you dont get it turkeys doot fly) in fact were not holding anything baCk everythings going to be flying at the next meeting Remember to duck when the bull starts flying
I want to leave you with one last thing come empty handed and you will laugh you will cry you will kiss five bucks good-bye

Letter to the Editor
r I would like our members who vote in Alameda County to consider Measure A
Measure A would keep the current sales tax rate the same in Alameda County if the state wide proposition would fail All the income generated by the difference between the state rate and the county rate would go to law enforcement
The money would go to the Sherifr s Department District Attorney and Public Defenders office and the Probation Department These departments have been operating on less money every year for the last three years as a result of this there have been cuts in personnel and programs
As we have all heard read and seen crime and criminals have been on the rise especially violent crimes
Many innovative programs which directly effect Asian juvenile offenders have been cut from the Probation Department One particular program cut this year coordinated services for Asian youth Previously Asian Mental Health provided counselling while two probation officers were specifically assigned to all Asian probation cases Now Asian youths on probation are assigned geographically to probation officers who may not understand the particular problems of being and Asian youth
Remember it is the Probation Department that incarcerates and rehabilitates our youth in this county Only the hard core youth are sent away to the Youth Authority (the CQuivalent of San Quentin for minors)
The Probation Department give our youth a second chance at becoming productive citizens
Please vote Yes on Measure A
