Save The Poppy Reserve


	Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve Faces Grave Threat


	It was through the efforts of local residents that the Poppy Reserve was established

		Jane Pinheiro, the Lancaster Women’s Club, the “Pennies for Poppies” program contributed by California school children, and efforts by many other local residents made the dream of a park to protect poppies become a reality.

	Please join us to preserve this legacy & open spaces


	A proposed development, the Fairmont Butte Motorsport Racetrack, now threatens to undo all of the hard work that has gone into establishing and preserving the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve!


	The Regional Planning Commission hearing on the racetrack continues:


	*Wednesday, October 20, 2010, 9 am, 320 W. Temple St., Los Angeles 90012*


	The hearing from August 18th was continued to October 20th. Check the Planning Commission Website to read the information as opposition to the racetrack continues to grow.

	This private racetrack, funded by Orange County millionaires, includes a racetrack, mechanic garages, restaurant and “full service” bar. It is proposed for the north side of Fairmont Butte


	High Performance automotive and motorcycle racing could occur 365 days a year, one (1) mile from the Poppy Reserve !


	This is not just about wildflowers. It is about the threat to existing open spaces from commercial development that will have an impact on the environment and animal habitat in the Antelope Valley.

WE NEED YOUR HELP. They have the money, but we are counting on your love of the Poppy Reserve and the local area to stop this atrocity
