Urgent request to all members of LWGA who reside in Moraga and have a vineyard (growing grapes for wine) or winery, to attend this meeting tomorrow at the JM School Auditorium at 7 PM.
This is the beginning of getting our local government to impose/enforce their interpretation of every ordinance on the books, and create more in case we do not have enough. The results will be either stagnation of economic activities in this town or migration away from Moraga of those that are entrepreneurial.

If we care about improving the values of our homes, have beautiful vineyards in our midst and create locally grown and produced agriculture and wine, we should make our voices heard at this meeting.

The few that have lived here for few years, can see the lack of progress in this town; mostly due to rules and regulations that are imposed by bureaucratic appointees who are just doing their jobs.
Please make your best effort to show up at this meeting.
See attached document whose heading is about the Rheem shopping center, but there is a bigger issue about our Boutique vineyards and wineries.

Fellow growers and wine makers,
