October 20-26, 2008 Citywide Graffiti Clean Up Lend a Hand Event
Dear Anti-Graffiti and Litter Program Volunteer,
The City of San José’s Anti -Graffiti and Litter Program is wrapping up another successful year. We would like to express our gratitude to all of our dedicated program volunteers. Many of you have contributed by either removing graffiti or by reporting it to our 24-hour Hotline. The Anti-Graffiti and Litter Program eradication staff continues to effectively remove graffiti Citywide.
This year we had the pleasure of interacting with you on several occasions such as during your visits to our office, at the yearly volunteer recognition event, at community meetings, events and/or at local fairs that we attended. Many volunteers have been a part of past Citywide Anti-Graffiti “Lend a Hand” efforts. Many volunteers have asked that we continue to include them as part of this proactive concentrated graffiti abatement effort.
The Anti-Graffiti and Litter Program staff has drafted the attached Lend a Hand flyer to encourage your participation in this Citywide graffiti abatement effort.
When?
This Citywide graffiti abatement Lend a Hand event will take place during the week of October 20 – 26, 2008. During this week, we are encouraging volunteers to participate in this concentrated graffiti abatement effort so that together, we can have a more noticeable impact on graffiti throughout the entire City.
Why:
Graffiti defaces public and private property. It contributes towards the increase of crime in your neighborhood and areas with graffiti tend to decrease in property value.
How you can help?
By helping spread the word about the Anti-Graffiti and Litter Program and its volunteer opportunities. You can also help by removing graffiti on public property and/or by adopting a block, fence or wall in your neighborhood. In addition, reporting graffiti to the 24-hour Anti-Graffiti Hotline at (408) 277-2758 can help us wipe graffiti.
How we can help?
If you are in need of additional cleaning supplies, please call the Anti-Graffiti and Litter Program office and ask to speak with either Paul J. Gonzalez, Art Ramirez, Ricardo Barajas and/or Servando Perez at (408) 277-3208. Office hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday with extended hours on Saturday October 25-26, 2008 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Important Reminder:
All previously painted objects should be abated in their appropriate (matching) color; otherwise they should be abated with solvent.
Some of the common vandalize objects are:
|

The Working Partnerships Leadership Network presents…
Life in the Valley Economy
Progress Report 2008
A Conversation with
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer
&
Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins
~
With the world’s financial markets in turmoil and the near-term economic outlook highly uncertain, what can we discern from longer-term trends about the economy’s underlying fundamentals: jobs, incomes and a strong middle class? How has the past decade’s evolution of Silicon Valley — the heart of the new economy — impacted the bread-and-butter issues of working families? Where can we find locally rooted solutions to the middle-class squeeze?
From jobs to housing to education, Life in the Valley Economy 2008, Working Partnerships’ newest report, analyzes the rapidly changing Silicon Valley economy from the perspective of working families. The report focuses on five critical areas:
- Making a Living
- Seeking Security
- Staying Healthy
- Building a Community
- Pursuing the Dream
~
State Treasurer Bill Lockyer has been a champion for working families and a leader for social justice his entire career. Bill served as California Attorney General from 1999-2006 and left a lasting legacy at the Department of Justice. Bill fought for consumer protection, took on the energy companies and recovered billions of dollars for California rate payers. As State Treasurer, Bill has opposed fiscally irresponsible corporate giveaways and is working to provide solutions to California’s structural deficit. Please join us for a conversation with Bill Lockyer and Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins.

join AACI’s Domestic Violence Program, Asian Women’s Home, on Friday, October 17, 2008 for the City of San José’s 11th Annual Walk to End Domestic Violence, presented by Mayor Chuck Reed, Council Members Nora Campos and Forrest Williams, and the City’s Family/Domestic Violence Advisory Board. Through this effort we hope to raise awareness about domestic violence and encourage everyone to get involved in preventing it. This year’s event will take place at San José’ City Hall on 200 E. Santa Clara Street and will feature guest speakers, Brian Copeland (author, radio talk show host, comedian, and playwright) and his sister, Tracie Stafford (small business owner, Governor’s Appointee, and a survivor of domestic violence). The program/victim’s tribute will be followed by a short walk procession and community lunch and resource fair.
The order of events at this event is as follows:
Registration 10:30- 11:00 a.m.
Program 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Walk 12:00- 12:30 p.m.
Community Lunch/Resource Fair 12:30- 1:30 p.m.
There is no cost to participate. If you would like to attend the community lunch, please register in the morning to receive your lunch ticket.
Last year, we had over 20 AACI staff members participate in the Walk. We will again have free Asian Women’s Home t-shirts for all AACI staff members who choose to participate in this year’s Walk. Attached are photos of the Asian Women’s Home t-shirt – same ash grey color t-shirt and design as previous years!
If this will be your first Walk with us, please send your t-shirt request indicating preferred t-shirt size to alice.saelee@aaci.org by 4:00 PM on Thursday, September 25, 2008. Please note that these are Men’s t-shirts which are only available in sizes S, M, L, XL, and XXL. We will distribute t-shirts on October 13, 2008 after the AACI staff meeting.
