Hello wonderful community of neighbors and activists who have been a part of us opposing the sale of alcohol at the 7 Eleven on Lomas and Washington!

I am so pleased to inform you that we have received notice that the 7 Eleven Application to sell alcohol for off site consumption at the Lomas and Washington location has been denied by the Zoning Hearing Examiner! 

The full decision should be posted at this website soon.

Feel good about this community victory! If you read through it you'll see evidence of all of the wonderful work carried out by so many of us to demonstrate the wide spread and justifiable opposition to this application. Kudos to all of you for whatever part, large or small, you played in this fight. It all mattered and it will continue to matter as the appeal process will very likely begin in the coming two weeks.

There is almost definitely going to be an appeal to this decision and as many of us have learned from Charlie and Nancy, this process can go on for over a year. 

Please do stay plugged into this issue as we may need to have a large turn out at future meetings and hearings on this matter. 

Victor
