NxNW Democrats Monthly Meeting – August

Please Join the Austin North by Northwest Democrats
For our regular August Meeting

Monday, August 18th, at 6:00 pm
in the back room at Threadgill’s, 6416 1/2 N Lamar Blvd.

This will be our annual meeting to elect officers and board members.

Rep. Elliott Naishtat has been invited to attend so we can sign and present him with the sponsor board from the John Dean event, to thank him for matching our contributions.

We will also hear from representatives of Stop Domain Subsidies, as well as someone on the other side of the issue, so there should be a lively discussion and a vote on whether to support Stop Domain Subsidies’ fight.

We will have a separate room, with our own server who will provide separate checks. Everyone is encouraged to have dinner during the meeting – and bring a friend!

NxNW Democrats July Fundraiser Event

Just a reminder that the NxNW Democrats will not have our regular meeting in July.

We are proud, however, to be co-hosting George Lakoff and his new book, The Political Mind, at BookPeople (6th and Lamar) on Thursday, July 17th at 7PM.

Please join us for this special event (more information will be provided later.)

At our last meeting, we agreed to consider hosting a fund-raising reception before the event, to raise money for our PAC, and David Kobierowski will be heading up that effort.

If you want to assist, please contact David at cleanair999 (at) yahoo.com.
