Friends,

We have a date for the final hearing to determine if we will again receive a special exception permit to continue operating Haven Acres Cat Sanctuary in Alachua County. Please mark your calendars and if there is any way for you to attend, PLEASE DO. The date is Tuesday, May 12, 2009, time is 5:00 PM. The hearing will be held in the Jack Durance Auditorium of the Alachua County Admin Building, located at 12 SE 1st St in Gainesville.

We will have bright yellow tags saying something like " We support Haven Acres" on the table outside the auditorium. Please wear them to show the county commissioners whose side you are on. It is very important that we have as many people there as possible. You can also email the County Commissioners at: bocc@alachuacounty.us

If you would also like to provide written comments to the Staff of Department of Growth Management, you can send them to 10 SW 2nd Ave, Gainesville Florida 32601-6294. Copies of the comments will be provided to the County Commissioners before the hearing. If you have any questions of staff, or desire further info, please contact the Developement Services Section at 352-374-5249.

Thank you so much for your continuing support of Haven Acres Cat Sanctuary.
