There is a good anti-war flyer in the Files section of the California for Dean 2004 yahoo group (link on sidebar).


hey CA Pol Junkie, could you possible email it to me? it seems the pictures are for members only.



I'd like to make a public request that all Dean Regional groups make their files sections public. That way we can all improve on each others' designs.


Let me amplify Aziz by saying that the files available should be editable (pageMaker, Quark, etc.) Sending PDFs is not as helpful, as they cannot be altered for local phone numbers, events, etc.


i got another flyer via email this morning and have posted it to that directory. go get it! =)


Anna -
I sent you the flier.


Alfonso Vega & Vega BIOGRAPHY

Coming from an esteemed family renowned in the manufacture of superior genuine panama hats, Santiago Vega decided to start his own company to “do it the way it was supposed to be done”. Inspired by the memory of both of his grandfathers, he was driven to reinstate the panama hat to its glory days through a savvier management of the entire process, giving greater credit to master weavers, and updating classic styles while continuing the tradition of superior quality. panama hats

Vega was educated in Belgium for three years, then studied at a private French school in Ecuador for 11 years where he continued to be influenced by European liberal education while growing up among a truly international crowd. “The ambience was really unique”, says Vega. “Our teachers were mainly French, the students were from all the five continents, so there was a rich diversity of cultures and social backgrounds… It was an interesting and easygoing mix between the children of wealthy elitists and bohemian artists, and we were all influenced by that singular ambience”.
After a further year in Pennsylvania as an exchange student with the Rotary Club, Vega finally pursued a Business Administration degree at University in Ecuador.

Santiago Vega started Alfonso Eudoro, Inc. at the tender age of 22, in the year 2000. Says Santiago Vega, “The company is a much-deserved tribute to the legendary panama hat. It is also a tribute to both of my grandfathers and a proud and honest reflection of the attributes that they passed on to me. My grandfather Alfonso who was involved in the panama hat industry for so many years and for his impulsive personality and passionate views, and my grandfather Eudoro who was a charismatic and honorable man that always handled himself properly”. panama hats

Drawing on the attributes passed on by his grandfathers, and the experience he was obtaining through his increased participation in Board and Supervisory meetings on the panama hat factory that is partly owned by his family, Santiago Vega learned to embrace tradition and to use it as the basis of a strong foundation, while introducing fashion and style as catalysts for the rebirth of the genuine panama hat.
Since the company’s inception, Santiago Vega has set up to resurrect the genuine panama hat as a legendary symbol of masculine elegance, and make it one of fashion’s great revivals.

The essence and trademark of the company founded by Santiago Vega is not only that of timeless and boundary-less fashion, but one that recognizes the importance of cultural preservation and social responsibility within this cottage industry. panama hat
