Dear Editor,
My oldest daughter Rachel, who is a sixth-grader at Rancho San
Justo middle school, has been nominated and was selected to attend
the People to People world leadership forum in Washington D.C. on
Sept. 8-14 of 2008. This program was started by then President
Dwight Eisenhower as a way of trying to bring the U.S. and Soviet
Union together through their youth. Since then it has expanded to
over 100 countries My wife and are think it is the opportunity of a
lifetime for our daughter and have agreed to let her go. The trip
is an expensive one. The cost of the forum and the plane trip is
just under $3,300. To date we have raised about $1,500. San Benito
Bank has allowed us to open up an account called Rachel Logue’s
Washington D.C. account. As a condition of opening up the account,
any funds raised in excess of the $3,300 will be given to Lisa
Sinclair who is a social science teacher at Rancho for future
students to use.
Family seeks funds for daughter’s trip to Washington

Basically what I am asking is if anyone in the community is interested in helping us send our duaghter on this trip and would like to make a financial contribution we would be very thankful. You may do so annonymously or if you want leave your name and Rachel will personally thank you. All you have to do is go to San Benito Bank and made the donation to Rachel Logue’s Washington D.C. account. Anyway whether you choose to make a donation or not I’m sure Rachel will make us all proud as she represents Hollister, and all of San Benito County in Washington next fall.
Thanks for your help and support.

Botelho and De La Cruz have done well
Dear Editor,
Thank you Hollister Freelance for your continued community coverage!
The current SBC Board of Supervisors have done an extraordinary job in managing this county. It is fair to say our position is much better than four years ago, amid facing numerous lawsuits for the county from sexual harassment to vote recounts, and an out-of-control budget. That is only two of the arduous challenges. Anthony Botelho and Jaime De La Cruz worked together in the best interests of their constituents. They are also very easily accessible and visible in this community. We still have more challenges to face. We’re confident that Botelho and De La Cruz will continue to be a positive and productive part of the board and our community.
David and Shari Stevenson, Hollister
