Blue Ribbon Panel Update

After four successful meetings, the Blue Ribbon Panel is looking forward to its fifth meeting this Thursday, May 29th, from 6:30 – 8:30 P.M. at Grace Cathedral, Wilsey Conference Center, on Taylor Street from California and Sacramento.

On Thursday, the Blue Ribbon Panel will prepare to present the options they are considering for St. Luke's at a public forum meeting on June 3rd. Although all Blue Ribbon Panel meetings are open to the public, on June 3rd, the public will have the opportunity to share their feedback with the Blue Ribbon Panel. This "public forum" will be from 6:30 – 8:30 P.M., at Cesar Chavez Elementary School, on 825 Shotwell St.

The Blue Ribbon Panel invites all interested parties to attend the public forum on June 3rd, and is looking forward to hearing the public's feedback. Please contact 415 -291- 9501 for more information.
