Subject: Campaign update

Gentlemen -

I have now completed a conversation with the management of every bar/restaurant that is going to be taking part in our upcoming efforts.  Everyone has been cooperative and now has a good idea of what is going to be taking place over the next two weekends.  I have gone over several details with each General Manager and we have discussed a plan for how to best get every Hermosa resident to fill out one of our forms.

Starting tomorrow at around 8:00pm, we will start voter registration and support card gathering at all of the bars/restaurants.  Eight out of ten of the bars have requested that I supply them with workers and they will pay them cash at the end of the night, Blue 32 and Sangria are using their own employees.  We will be doing voter registration for a total of four hours each night.

I have also asked each bar to implement a plan to get all of their employees registered that are Hermosa residents.  In addition, I have talked with both the Maxwell and Tucker campaign and advised them that we will need signs for all of our employees households.  I will take care of the distribution of these signs once I get the (employee) voter registration/supporter cards from each location.

Finally, attached is a "talking points" sheet for all bartenders.  This is just for your information - I just want you all to be aware of what I think should be asked of your bartenders.  I have already discussed this idea with every General Manager and they all agreed with the idea.  I will get each bar a clipboard for this "talking point" sheet.  The clipboard will have all the necessary paperwork to get things done properly.

If you have not already gave me a check for $400 and a gift certificate for $120, please have it ready for me when I come by your location Friday (10/12/2007).  Thanks.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you have any additional ideas. 

Thank you in advance for your continued cooperation with this effort.

John Paul Gurrola

Attention ALL Employees!!

There is a critical Hermosa Beach election happening on November 6, 2007.  This election will select two people to serve on the City Council.  This is the City Council that decides when we open or close, whether we can have dancing or not, and what are the limits on us serving food and alcohol, etc.  Basically, these are the people that can have the greatest influence on the success and atmosphere of our restaurant.

All of the restaurants in the Hermosa Beach Restaurant Association have decided to take action this election and try and get two candidates elected to office that we believe will be fair to our business and help us when we need the assistance of our elected officials.  The candidates we are supporting are Peter Tucker and Jeff Maxwell.

In order for us to be successful in getting these two gentlemen elected to office, we need every one of you to help.  Here’s what you can do:

1.      First, if you are a Hermosa resident, make sure you are properly registered to vote.  If you aren’t, do it now, you only have until October 22 to get registered.

2.      Second, get your roommates and friends that live in Hermosa registered to vote.  We need all the support we can get!

3.      Lastly, behind the bar is a clipboard that has all the material needed to get someone registered to vote.  While you are working, when you have the time and you know it will not be disturbing our customers, ask every customer if they are a Hermosa Beach resident and if they are get them to sign up to help our cause.  Be sure you read the instructions on the clipboard before you start talking to customers about this, because we want to make sure we are all sharing the same information.  Remember that if the customer lives in Hermosa, have them fill out a “HBRA Supporter Contact Form” – no matter if you register them that day or if they are already registered.  We need one of these “HNRA Supporter Contact Forms” from EVERY Hermosa resident so we can contact them to tell them how and when to vote!!

Four years ago the winning Councilman got 1,211 votes, and the candidate behind him got 1,204 votes – he literally won by SEVEN votes!!  This is not a “big numbers election” it will be decided by a very small number of votes and we want the best candidates elected to help our business grow while supporting the Hermosa Beach lifestyle we all know and love.

Help protect our lifestyle while helping our business continue to grow and be one of the best places around to have fun, have a drink, get some food with your friends.
