Dear Friends of Measure Z,

This Thursday, September 21 at 6:00 PM, the Measure Z Oversight Committee will be meeting at Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 1. It promises to be an interesting meeting where committee members will be discussing various items from the evaluation of Oakland's medical cannabis ordinance to a discussion of guidelines for enforcement of Measure Z to arrest stats.

If you'd like to address the Committee, you will have an opportunity to do so during the Public Comment portion at the beginning of the meeting. For example, if you'd like to see the establishment of "Measure Z" clubs in Oakland, you can mention that.

As usual, prior to the meeting, Richard Lee will host a social hour from 4:00-5:45 at the Bulldog Coffeeshop located at 1739 Broadway. It's walking distance to City Hall from there.

After the meeting, there will be a showing of the new, powerful film, WAITING TO INHALE, at the nearby Malonga Theater at 9:00PM, followed by a panel discussion. Here are the details:
