You can also find a list of current coalition supporters here and you <br />can find much more information, fact sheets and other resources on the Keen_California Safe website if you need <br />them. Of course I would also be happy to answer any questions. <br />Thank you very much for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you. <br />Best, <br />FUNrl 5PR*GsIl"" Nancy Eldred Account Coordinator <br />F�` 1800 J Street Sacramento, CA 95811 <br />J <br />core strategies www.fsbcorestrategies.com <br />
