Tomorrow, my wife and I head out to south korea for our scheduled 3-week vacation. This couldn't have come at a better time. I need to get away for a few weeks to regain my strength and perspective.
Last Thursday, the Mayor Newsom's office contacted our clinic to schedule a meeting. This came a day after KRON 4 news channel and SF Chronicle opinion simultaneously released their segments. We are hoping that this meeting would mean that our clinic budget would be fully restored.
I also received an e-mail from Carolyn Tyler from ABC News. She wanted showcase our clinic for her next segment on the city's budget cuts. I passed this information on to our director, David Fariello, who will (hopefully) do an interview with ABC.

The Media Are Paying Attention to Us
After two long weeks of grueling campaigning, we have finally gained some momentum. Jeff Bush from KRON 4 responded to my e-mail last night and came to our clinic to interview our director, David Fariello. Check out the news segment about Citywide & Community Focus Center on this link.
Also, David Fariello's impassioned speech in defense of our clinic was published in SF Gate's (San Francisco Chonicle) Open Forum section. Check out the article here.
We are slowly, but surely gaining momentum. The staff are becoming more encouraged, and our client's are continuing to speak out in the form of letters to the City supervisors.
