Tuesday @ 5:00!    Tell Everyone!

We will have speakers from five distinguished organizations:

We have urged them, along with the dire, scary information, to provide some rays of hope by identifying efforts that are being made to counteract the negative impacts on our residents. In addition to the excellent program, it will be great to be together in person and to meet other people concerned about these issues!

  • Speakers Bureau - We need several more people to take our ballot issues presentation to the community.  We provide all the necessary information and a PowerPoint presentation. This is a great way for our members to better understand the ballot and share this knowledge with others.  Contact pzelarney@yahoo.com.
