Robin Hopper, Mariposa County Superintendent of Schools, will be discussing Measure L, the local bond initiative to repair, upgrade and modernize our school facilities.  She will be at the September Mariposa Democratic Club meeting on Saturday, September 10th. The meeting starts at 9:45 a.m. at Miner’s Roadhouse; please join us at 9:00 am. if you want to purchase breakfast first.

Along with this local measure, there are many state initiatives that are going to be on the November ballot, 17 at last count. It’s easy to think “too much!” and just vote no on all of them. Ms. Hopper will let you know why it is important to vote Yes for Measure L; this, along with a Yes on Prop 51, will mean a huge boost for our local schools’ facilities.

Everyone is encouraged to attend this meeting, regardless of party preference. Schools are not a partisan issue, and good schools are important to Mariposa’s success.

The Mariposa Democratic Club meets the second Saturday of most months at Miner’s  Roadhouse Restaurant. Join us at 9:00 a.m. if you want to purchase breakfast or at 9:45 a.m. for the speaker and meeting. Call 209-742-1010 if you have any questions.
