   2. We ned a telephone number - Elizabeth said that we could use her animal rescue number and that she would change the message.
   3. Try to recruit membership at the James Lick flea market.
   4. Elizabeth will call James Lick and see if "project earth" still exists and also see if there is another student group that we can partner with on future projects.
   5. Have Andrea call Strong Neighborhood Initivative Sal Alvarez, and see what we can do about abandoned shopping carts
   6. Plant flowers at the James Lick corner of Alum Rock and White Road. It is a good candidate because it has a sprinkler system. Elizabeth to see if the school will let us do this project and Steve to contact Our City Forest to see what plants they will donate.
   7. David Sanchez suggested a food and wine pairing at the Thai White Rock Cafe.
   8. We discussed how Japantown has a sake tasting event where each merchant has a different sake and sometimes food. The paricipant buys a ticket and goes around to all of the merchants. This is a good way to "discover" the Alum Rock Village.
