Subject: [sfskaters] Today in the San Francisco Chronicle

Hi all,

Here is the article that is in today's San Francisco Chronicle.  For you 
locals, the meeting at the Board of Supervisors will be on Tuesday, Sept. 22 
at 10:00 A.M. at the War Memorial Building, 401 Van Ness 4th Floor.  Please 
come.

BTW  The article mentions a demonstration put on by about 50 cyclists. I did 
not see the cyclists.  That event happened the night before our meeting.  
Skaters were not and are not involved in any type of adversarial situatition 
with the Mayor or the City.

The San Francisco cycling community supported the skaters all the way on 
this one and we do appreciate their support.  However, I want everyone to 
know that we have been treated with the upmost of respect by Mayor Willie 
Brown, members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, Muni, the 
Department of Parking and Traffic, the City Attorney, the Senior Action 
Network, the Pedestrian Safety Task Force and the San Francisco Bike 
Coalition.

Paul Pillitteri was the glue that kept these plans together.  Get ready to 
see him blush at the Skaters' Ball in November.

Keep Rollin',

D. Miles Jr.
