Our general meeting will be at 6pm on October 22nd, on zoom.
Ordinarily we meet the third Thursday of each month, but that conflict with the Planning Commission. So this month we are meeting on the fourth Thursday as a trial. Please let us know at [email protected] if you prefer the third or fourth Thursday. The URL will be sent closer to the day of the meeting.
Our usual get out the vote letter writing party will take place Sunday October 11, at 7pm.
We have only one week left to write letters or cards to people who haven’t voted recently. Contact Vote Forward to write letters: https://votefwd.org
After letters and postcards are sent in (October 17-21, depending on the organization), there will be a big need for people to text and call.
