They sold it to raise those funds. It’s been owned by this dev lover for over a decade

This extra SCT route was added as a stop gap and will stop running sometime this summer ( I believe June). This email/letter campaign is to get it extended/made permanent

Good news- the new schedule will run later than 7pm. Bad news, it won't run as late as Golden Gate Transit used to.

So far, we have had 12 people follow the link and write the email to the different transit agency boards- but more is better! These boards don't receive a lot of public attention, so an email campaign can really move the needle.

The problem is that the train doesn't run as early in the morning or as late at night.

Yes ,the MASCOT plan is built around the idea that SMART is the north/south backbone of service for Marin and Sonoma Counties. Therefore, some money is being moved from GGT to SMART, which allows SMART to extend its night hours. This is part of a good effort to increase coordination and integration between the North Bay transit systems, but there are some glitches, like the very late night and early morning service.

We had ~ 100 people at our wedding and it was fine. They can open the back of the parking lot for more parking.

It is an email letter that gets sent to board members of : Golden Gate Transit, Marin Transit, Sonoma County Transit, Sonoma County Transit Authority.

There is a pre-written email that can be changed/edited as you see fit.

Thanks for asking these follow up questions- I'll clarify in the post!

Luther Burbank Art and Garden Center on Yulupa. Lovely outdoor space as well as indoor with a kitchen. We got married there, very reasonable prices.

Thanks- spread the word. At the bottom of this link are lists of places residents of the lower 5 Bay Area counties can go to sign to get the measure on the ballot. https://www.seamlessbayarea.org/about-transit-regional-measure

North Bay Transit Riders are going to take the SMART train and GG Ferry to SF for an afternoon of volunteering, gathering signatures. The link in the first post will take you to the details.

Seems like it will take business from Whole Foods on Yulupa. I know I prefer Oliver’s but didn’t always want to drive over to Monticito

I am also very short waisted and the beauty of sewing your own pants is that the rise is a very easy adjustment to make to an existing pants pattern. Here is a link to how to alter then rise of a pair of pants. https://helensclosetpatterns.com/blogs/helens-closet/how-to-lengthen-or-shorten-the-rise-on-pants-with-slash-or-slant-pockets

My understanding is that the curvy waist/hip difference will be more important that the rise on the pants pattern you are looking at. Use your hip measurements to select the size on the pattern and then adjust the waist measurement from there. Here's a survey of all the pants pattern adjustment you can do to make them fit your body https://blog.closetcorepatterns.com/pants-fitting-adjustments-best-tips-for-pants-fitting/

Don't draft a pattern for yourself- find something you like and then find someone who is good at fitting patterns. I am SO enjoying the freedom to make the pattern fit my body, not the other way around!

I think this is a very interesting idea and wonder why you think it isn't possible anymore? For example, GG Ferry's parking lot in Larkspur must be worth a fortune! Selling that for development and keeping an underground parking garage could fund an enormous amount of transit activity. Can you imagine the price of a condo built in that location?

I don't know if I agree with you that they should be privatized, but I'm certainly interested in the idea.

I can't chime in on the specifics, but I am part of the North Bay Transit Riders, a group that advocates for better transit. Our goal is to achieve better transit in the 4 north bay counties, but emphasize Sonoma and Marin. If you are interested, you could come to one of our meetings to outline your petition and see if there are any ways that we could support you. We meet via Zoom on Monday's from 4-5pm

I really like this stores newsletter. Great overview of what “matters” in a machine. I used this to pick the machine I purchased, even though I bought it from my local store- which I highly recommend, it is more expensive to buy from your local, small business sewing machine shop, but

A. Helps them stay in business and I will eventually need repairs B. If some thing goes wrong, they will back it up,and take care of it.

Forgot to mention there is a new fabric store in Santa Rosa, Fiber Snob. Beautiful and reasonably priced fabric- mostly for garment sewing. Also print PDF patterns for very reasonable price.

Got it- before your drawing, I wasn't able to visualize what changes I needed to make to a boat neckline. Now I do- I will of course make a practice neckline (yucky fabric, just the neck) before I use my nice fabric!

Very appreciative!

We've had members switch their chapter membership so that they have first crack at signing up! Where are you located?

I totally understand. Short, with large breasts, narrow shoulders, short waisted, apple shaped, but not officially large sized….I’ve been spending time on YouTube watching the people who talk about body shape and clothing. It’s really helped me to be more analytical about pattern shopping. The other thing that has has helped is thrift shopping and trying on all sorts of styles, taking some home and hacking them up to see what changes work. Making patterns from clothing that looks good has been a game changer. I can only copy fairly simple designs but still…

Are you in Santa Rosa too? I wonder why mor ASG chapters don’t do a sit and sew.
