This post is not just for the Alameda runners. It is for everyone who gets out to do things. If you enjoy using parks, trails and running areas, you should make your voice heard. We are going to visit Frank Matarrese (who hopes to become mayor of Alameda) to ask for his assistance in getting us access to our local community college track. We understand that using this track is a privilege and not a right. It would be a right if we paid for it but we did not. If you want something that you think may be a privilege for the public, you will have to work for it. Realize the political world moves very slowly and you have to be patient.
I am not asking anyone to vote for Frank. I am asking everyone to get involved in the process. So far, Frank has done his part and we are doing ours. It may or may not end up with us being allowed to use the track but we are trying.
We are going to visit Frankformayor at one of his campaign events on Thursday, April 22, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. It will be located at the High Street Station Cafe 1303 High Street at Encinal Ave., in Alameda. Come join us in our quest to open the track. It will also give you a great insight into your election process by actually working with one of the candidates in a cause.

You are right, you all have a voice that should be heard and I am listening.
I’m looking forward to meeting you all at High Street Cafe tonight!
