So, has anyone who doesn't live in Sylmar registered yet? If so, what did you use for the second piece of identification? I'm not sure what they want.

This describes some of the many forms of documentation that are acceptable: https://empowerla.org/wp-content/upload ... tation.pdf

It seems that if someone on the board could publish an official roster of members we'd all be good.

Also we could have the club write a letter in the form Los Angeles suggested.

I just voted!

Since I won't be here that weekend, I did it online. Start here and use the SHGA and its address of 12584 Gridley Street, Sylmar California, to establish your stakeholder status and then follow the directions.

Thanks to all SHGA members who have already voted online or are intending to vote in person. You do not need to live in Sylmar to vote and can use your SHGA affiliation with the Gridley address to substantiate your voter eligibility.

If anyone encounters difficulty with voting online, PM me or post your issues here. Online voting is new this year and it is not without some quirks!

You all are a huge part of what makes Sylmar great. Let's work together to help keep it that way...please be engaged in the selection of your local representation.

Thanks!

Recreation / Open Spaces candidate

Considering how important this is, I think we can get a large group of pilots and family members to show up at 10 am on this coming Saturday and car pool over to the Sylmar Recreation Center at 13109 Borden Avenue to vote for our Neighborhood Council candidates.

Dear SHGA members and friends,

REMINDER - The Sylmar Neighborhood Council election is tomorrow. The polls are open from 11 AM to 3 PM.

I will stop by the flight park about 10:40 AM tomorrow to offer a ride to the polls.

I'll be in a white F-150 4x4 and can take 4 passengers. We may have others willing to run carpools too and we will do our best to get you all back ASAP so that you can get on with your day of flying.

Thank you!
