Greetings,

Over the past several months, ASA has been working to improve our services and
access for the condition-based unions. Many of you have begun posting online
in our Seniors’ Forum, filled out the Seniors’ Union survey, which was released
last summer, viewed the Retirement Living Special on medical marijuana, and
given us great feedback on how we can further serve our unions. In our
constant effort to improve our services and strengthen the movement, we have
two very important announcements to make today that concern you!

I am pleased to announce that ASA has designed a website specifically for
seniors, which is being launched today! The Seniors' Union Website provides
information about medical cannabis issues and aging. In the future, ASA intends
to roll out similar websites for our other condition-based unions as well. You
can check out the website at: http://medicalmarijuanaandseniors.org

If you are a current union member or are new to Americans for Safe Access,
medical marijuana, and the Seniors’ Union, please be sure to browse this
website. Check out some of the website’s many resources for medical marijuana
patients and seniors including: aging and medical marijuana research, an online
seniors’ forum, testimonials from seniors, online video, and much more! Take
at look at: http://medicalmarijuanaandseniors.org

Next, ASA is revamping our Seniors’ Union leadership team, and is implementing
new programs to further engage our active Union members. We are now asking all
Seniors’ union members to help strengthen ASA’s union by completing two easy
tasks:

1. Write a short testimonial to explain how medical marijuana has affected
your life. Visit http://www.AmericansforSafeAccess.org/SeniorsUnion to fill
out the contact sheet and testimonial. Please be sure to let us know whether or
not you want to allow ASA to publish it.

2. Fill out and complete ASA Seniors’ Union Survey.
http://www.safeaccessnow.org/union_survey.html


Those of you who complete these two tasks will become basic members of the
union. If you are already a union member, we ask that you renew your
membership by filling out a testimonial and completing a survey. New members
will receive an ASA Seniors’ Union welcome package via mail.

We strongly encourage members who have already completed the basic membership
qualifications to take on a greater leadership role and apply to become a
community ambassador. A Seniors’ Union ambassadors assist ASA in our outreach
by writing letters in support of medical marijuana to other seniors’ groups
such as the AARP. If you wish to become an ambassador, please e-mail or call
Sonnet Seeborg Gabbard at (510) 251-1856 ext. 321 or
Sonnet@AmericansforSafeAccess.org.

Thank you for your support. It is people like you who help build the movement.


Sincerely,

Sonnet Seeborg Gabbard
Field Coordinator
Americans for Safe Access

Wonderful addition! I'll have to e-mail this link to my MOM...she just discovered e-mail!! She has stuck with me in my court battles, and stood beside my belief in this miracle medicine called cannabis!!

This is a great way to show her more on cannabis.

hpckush - that's a great idea. I think sending this link to parents is a great way to educate them.
