December 6, 2005 > California is facing an education crisis

Funding levels are low, class sizes are growing and resources are decreasing.

A question and answer period will follow the speakers' opening remarks. Lunch is included.

Tickets are $30 for Fremont Chamber members and $40 for non-members. Table and event sponsorships are available for $500 and $1,000. For more details, contact Billy Sandbrink, director of government affairs, at (510) 795-2244 x107 or send an email to bsandbrink@fremontbusiness.com.
