Recently, 1078 gallery applied for a permanent alcohol license with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

We took this action because we have outgrown the limits of the daily non-profit licenses we have been using until now for our art and music events. Events are an extremely important part of the gallery's revenue, especially with other funding sources in decline over the past few years.

The Chico City Council must approve our application, based on "public convenience and necessity." This issue is likely to come before them at their February 3rd meeting.

We believe that our application fits the criteria of "public convenience and necessity" because YOU—members of the public—want to be able to enjoy an alcoholic beverage when you attend an art or music event at the gallery.

Please sign this petition if you want the Chico City Council to recommend approval of our application.

Thank you for your support!
