Where: Sharp Park Golf Clubhouse, Pacifica, CA.
Why:
Designed by Alister MacKenzie and opened in 1932, Sharp Park Golf
Course is currently the target of enviro-activist groups that want to

Brent Plater and associated extremists, along with the GGNRA, have always counted on a lack of organized opposition to their plan to destroy Sharp Park. What they didn’t count on was Rich Harris and the SF Public Golf Alliance, who have worked tirelessly, and pro bono, to stop an audacious land-grab by some environmental carpetbaggers and save our landmark public golf course. Although many Pacificans have spoken out in support of Sharp Park throughout this long campaign, a single voice (or op-ed piece) does not carry the weight of a unified chorus, a gathering of voters large enough that elected officials must take notice. We have the chance to do just that on April 28, an opportunity to publicly affirm our support for Sharp Park and the people who’ve been leading the fight to save it. It’s time to step up and speak out, people. I hope to see many, many of you there.
Thank you Paul for your hard work in this fight. I will definitely be there with my wallet. I look forward to seeing as big a turn out as the fundraiser in 09.
Will it ever end?
Its still beyond my comprehension that anyone who loves open space would want to destroy this beautiful open space, or roll the dice with the safety of Sharp Park neighborhood.
If this event is anything like the last, plan on a fun, informational event and big supportive crowd. (As Markus said its been 2 years since then). Looking forward to the event, and thank you to Paul and all of you who are directly involved.
Snake oil salesman Plater needs a supply of snakes.
