help, really!!<BR><BR>Fellow BHS Parent,<BR><BR>In September, the Berkeley High
PTSA overwhelmingly voted to endorse Measure B. Hundreds of parents and
teachers have given generously their time and money to the campaign, and we’re
extremely grateful. But we need more money to accomplish one huge
task.<BR><BR>In the mail this week you’re likely to receive a letter from the
Measure B Campaign asking for a contribution. Please take a moment to read
our appeal and return the reply envelope with a contribution. We
really need your help.<BR><BR>We have spent hundreds of volunteer hours speaking
at PTA and neighborhood meetings; we’ve handed out information at all schools
during Back to School Night and our volunteers are informing Berkeley citizens
at farmers’ markets and grocery stores; we’ve marched in parades; we’re posting
signs, walking precincts and making phone calls to voters.<BR><BR>Our volunteers
are motivated to make sure Measure B passes so our kids will learn in classes
with 28 students instead of 40. <BR><BR>But we have one major task in
front of us that requires CASH. We’re ready to go with a citywide mailing
to make sure EVERY voter knows to VOTE YES ON MEASURE B. A mailing to all
voter households in Berkeley costs about $15,000 (printing and mailing) and we
don’t have the money. <BR><BR>PLEASE open the letter from the Measure B Campaign
this week and send money (I feel like a college student: Mom, Dad, send
money now!)<BR><BR>To those of you who have contributed already, THANK YOU!
