ECDC will participate in the El Cerrito community Fourth of July Celebration at the Portola School playground and Cerrito Vista Park. As in the past, ECDC will staff a booth at which we will be registering voters, signing up voters for permanent absentee voting, passing out club information, getting petitions signed, meeting old friends and greeting new ones.

The event runs from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., at the Portola site and until 7:00 p.m. at the Cerrito Vista site. Set up starts 9:00 a.m. with take down starting at 4:00 p.m. A table, chairs, cooler with water, a sun shield and needed materials will be delivered to the site, so all that is needed are ECDC volunteers who will staff the booth.

At a minimum, ECDC needs at least six volunteers to run the site - two each for three two hour shifts. More are always welcomed and will help make our presence there more effective. You can sign up for helping ECDC at the Fourth of July celebration. Contact Hilary Crosby (homehilary@comcast.net or 510-375-5647) to volunteer or for more information.
