Resolution well recieved but delayed!

Fair Trade Healdsburg presented our initiative to City Hall last evening at 6:00pm with hope that the City of Healdsburg would pass resolution expressing support for Fair Trade practices.  This being the final step towards becoming the next recognized Fair Trade Town in the U.S. 

Steve Martin, Legislative Outreach Coordinator for Fair Trade Healdsburg, supported by several key Steering Committee Members, delivered an excellent presentation to the Healdsburg City Council, City Manager Marjie Pettus and Mayor Tom Chambers.

We were very well received with commitments of support from four City Council members as well as Mayor Tom Chambers and City Manager Marjie Pettus.

We are rescheduled for September 6th to allow time for the City Council to further discuss and we anticipate that the resolution will pass with ease.

This is great news for Fair Trade Healdsburg!
