The Friends of the Foothills coalition is organized at the grassroots
level. Without the ongoing support of our volunteers and
activists, we could not survive. Our volunteers work closely with campaign
staff on many parts of our campaign to protect our open space, clean water,
threatened wildlife and livable communities.
Hours and time commitment are flexible--whether you can give two hours a
month or ten, there are ways to help. Also, if you provide your name and email address in our right column "Join Friends of The Foothills Today!" you will receive invitations to events
and updates about the campaign.
These letters are printer ready for you to sign and mail, but are especially compelling if you personalize or handwrite your letter. It only takes five minutes and can make a world of difference, so please send a letter TODAY!
Tabling
Tabling is a fun and easy way to get involved with the campaign. We staff
information tables several times a month at the San Clemente Farmer's Market
and at the Trestles Beach parking lot. We also host booths at local
festivals. Donate just a couple hours a month and work with other
volunteers to get the word out.
Take a look at our Event Calendar page for upcoming dates for various activities which we will need volunteers.
Letter Writing
Please take a moment and send a letter to the Secretary of Commerce. The
TCA is currently appealing the California Coastal Commission's NO vote
against the Foothill-South Toll Road. Please let the federal government
know that our state park is too valuable to lose for a pay-to-drive road.
Writing letters to the editor is an excellent way to raise
the profile of an issue and to get the attention of the community and the
decision makers. Sign up for our excellent Action Alert/Letters to the
Editor e-mail list-serve to receive occasional updates about current events,
upcoming meetings and hikes, and tips for writing letters to the editor. You can do this by filling in our "Join Friends of The Foothills Today!" form located on each page of this web site on the right column.
