Point of Order!
Someone thought Pres Denise forgot to ask about our guests, so she paid a fine. Virginia C suggested that it was just an attempt to have fun in meetings by reversing the order and keeping us off balance. Phuoc introduced Billie Woolbring whom he met at Circle K. The Point of order was that there was no order.

Speaker
Bill & Virginia introduced Deborah Badhia of the DBA (not "doing business as", but Downtown Berkeley Association). Did you know that there are 340 businesses represented in the downtown area bounded by Channing, Delaware, Oxford and MLK? Several times a certain Ace Hardware was mentioned.
Projects include updating the aging bricks near BART, now forty years old. Berkeley, as we all know hosts an eclectic variety of shops and businesses. From dining, the arts, religious organizations, Berkeley City College and the David Brower building, we have an amazing place to live and work.
Next Week, Feb 8
