Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center held "Meet & Greet" in their Gym Friday afternoon to meet the candidates for Supervisor in District Three.
Big turnout of neighbors - it was obvious that the neighbors were there to listen to all the candidates and figure out who they were going to vote for (eleven candidates!).
The candidates are articulate, interested in their community and need people's vote. Crime was the number one issue along with small business help on Columbus Avenue, quality of life issues and affordable housing.
The candidates that spoke were Joseph Alioto Jr., Harold Brown, Sal Busalacchi, Claudine Cheng, David Chiu, Bobby Coleman, Mike DeNunzio, Tony Gantner, Lynn Jefferson, Denise McCarthy and Wilma Pang.
One of the candidates, Denise McCarthy, was Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center's Executive Director for 25 years.
Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center, 660 Lombard Street, San Francisco, Ca. 94133

2007-2008 Board of Directors:
Millicent D. Bogert, President; Gail Switzer, Vice President; Victoria L. Carlin, Treasurer; Pamela Duffy, Secretary. Jack Bair, Asim Bhansali, Bruce Carlton, Ted Dienstfrey, Dale Fehringer, Nestor L. Fernandez II, Dan Giraudo, Denis Henmi, Anthony C. Lincoln, Katherine Munter, Rona Michele Spiegel and Brian Wilsey.
Note: Walking back from the event next door to the closed down Washington Bar and Grill I saw the closed up Pagoda Theatre. I noticed twenty-four (24!) Lynn Jefferson for Supervisor campaign signs glued to the side of the building. I am sure that Lynn Jefferson does not know about these signs being up all at one spot - just take them down. It looks tacky and should not be a part of this corner or North Beach . There is already a sign up on the building that says " enough with the plywood".
