Please Join the Austin North by Northwest Democrats on Monday, June 18th, at 6:00 pm, but read on for important details and updates on the venue change for this meeting:

Executive Summary:

We’re meeting at the JCAA at the usual time, prior to attending Mayor Will Wynn’s presentation on Austin’s role in the fight against global warming. There will be vegetarian pizza available, and we ask that you phone Jan or e-mail me to RSVP.

The Full Announcement:

Instead of the usual meeting place for our June 18th meeting, we will be
attending the Jewish Community Association of Austin (JCAA) Summer in the
City Speaker Series at the Dell Jewish Community Campus, 7300 Hart Lane.

We will meet at our usual time of 6:00pm, before Mayor Wynn’s presentation.
Jan has suggested that I let everyone know that once inside the building,
there will be signs directing us to our meeting room. Due to security
concerns, there will be a security guard at the gate, and you may be
required to open your trunk for inspection.

There will be vegetarian pizza available. So we know how much pizza to
order, please RSVP by phone (you may contact Jan at 512.583.0451) or by
e-mail (you may e-mail me at jelyon@jelyon.com).

Members should feel free to bring in their own food - but it must be
vegetarian. Time permitting, the mayor will meet with us prior to his
presentation.
