Dear supporters of 'No' to El Rancho QuikTrip #4288,
We have continued to engage in public outreach throughout the fall, and have generated recent media coverage as well (see www.save-el-rancho-campaign.com/elrancho.html). The petition now has more than 1600 supporters, and we will send another batch of signatures to QuikTrip soon.
This note is to invite you to join a group photo in front of El Rancho for an article by the Colorado Sun. The photo will be at about 10 a.m. on Tuesday 12/17. For those of you who live in or near Evergreen, if you are able to please attend.
Thank you, and happy holidays!

Dear QuikTrip leadership:
The mountain residential community of Evergreen, Colorado, does not want or need your proposed facility #4288 and the impacts it would bring to roadways and surrounding rural neighborhoods.
You say in your pre-application:
"QuikTrip prides itself on its relations with its customers and the surrounding community."
If you are not just a corporate bully focused on money above all, here is your chance to stand behind those words.
We are pleased to present you with this petition, including 1042 signatures and 651 comments collected in just the last four weeks, resoundingly asking you to move on.
Attached are the signatures and comments, and I provide here a link to the online petition, 'No' to El Rancho QuikTrip #4288
www.openpetition.org/us/petition/online/no-to-el-rancho-quiktrip-4288
We ask you to review these comments and understand, unequivocally, that El Rancho is not the place for you. Please find another location for your project.
Thank you.

Hello, and THANK YOU to everyone who has joined our petition opposing the destruction of El Rancho and construction of a QuikTrip truck stop in its place. We have almost 700 signatures (you) and over 400 comments from the Evergreen community, foothills, and West Metro area, in addition to several from farther away.
As the County's first review of the pre-application will likely conclude next week, we are planning to send the petition to QuikTrip this coming week, as well. The petition will remain open to collect signatures for future submission to Jefferson County, but for now we are aiming at the root of the question: QuikTrip.
We know that there are still neighbors who are not aware of what is proposed on Evergreen's doorstep. So that the community voice is loud and clear, I'm writing today to ask that you talk to your neighbors, forward to friends, and help spread the word about the proposed development that would rob Evergreen of an irreplaceable historical asset, taint our scenic corridor, and burden the everyday life of our community with traffic, noise, and light pollution concentrated on US 40.
Here is the link to the petition:
www.openpetition.org/us/petition/online/no-to-el-rancho-quiktrip-4288
We will keep you updated on this effort.
Thank you again, from the Save El Rancho Campaign
