Hi Everyone. Thank you again for your support of Rockin’ Rescue and the homeless dogs and cats of Los Angeles. Thanks to you, we have close to 5,000 supporters who have signed the petitions (over 3,800 have signed the on-line change.org petition; over 1,100 have signed paper petitions). The comments you have left on the on-line petition have been very insightful and persuasive. The signatures and comments I had up until January 16 have been filed with the South Valley Area Planning Commission (SVAPC). Any further signatures and comments we receive will be delivered to the SVAPC at the hearing on January 26, so please encourage your families and friends to sign the petition and leave a comment. THE APPEAL HEARING FOR ROCKIN’ RESCUE WILL TAKE PLACE ON THURSDAY JANUARY 26, 2017 AT 4:30 P.M., AT THE MARVIN BRAUDE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY SERVICE CENTER, 6262 VAN NUYS BOULEVARD, 1ST FLOOR, VAN NUYS, CA 91401. If you can come, we would appreciate your support there. I expect that the hearing will last several hours, so if you can’t come at 4:30, and you live or work nearby, you can come on your way home from work at 5:00, 6:00 or 7:00 PM. PLEASE COME IF YOU CAN; this is an important way to show the SVAPC just how much community support there is for Rockin’ Rescue.
