"Thanks for the TERA weekly update.  I am continually amazed
by the level of professionalism and technical detail
your group is able to provide to your ever-increasing constituency.  
What an asset to a community buried in the LA bureaucratic shuffle.  
I've only seen such vigor and intelligence in Larchmont and Brentwood in LA,
and even they don't compare.  Keep up the fine work -- while frustrating --
very rewarding for the betterment of the community."

-- Tom Eidem, noted economic development advisor, San Clemente

3.  WALGREENS -- TELLING ARTICLE AND PLUM COMMITTEE MEETING -- JANUARY 21

Check this out:  http://www.planning.org/hottopics/drugstores.htm

City Council PLUM (Planning and Land Use Management) Committee meeting this Tuesday, January 21, 2003, 2:00 p.m., Room 1010, City Hall.  Please come and speak in support of TERA's appeal.  This disaster must be overturned.



4.  ARTIST WORKSPACE NEEDED TEMPORARILY

A workspace in Los Angeles is needed that someone can donate for a few weeks.  This is to accommodate an artist collaborative project of 10 artists on a roll of canvas that will roughly extend 72"x50'.  I  am looking for a space that would  have a minimum 20'x25' of open floor space.  The duration would be of at least two weeks, and no more than five.

Access during the week including weekends would be vital.  The space would also need to be indoors with running water and electricity.  Thank you for your help.
