5/29 Supervisor Richard Elias, Pima County District 5

Hello liberals,

Our next guest speaker will be Richard Elias, Pima County Board of Supervisors http://www.pima.gov/bos/dist5/

Come over to The Shanty at 6 o'clock to listen to a 'state of the county' report and ask as many questions as you wish.

Let's not forget the less fortunate: BRING NONPERISHABLE FOOD to be donated to the Food Bank.

Cheers!

5/22 Nancy LaPlaca for AZ Corporation Commision (Exploratory Committee)

Hello liberals,

Come over to The Shanty to meet Nancy LaPlaca who is thinking about running for a seat on the AZ Corporation Commission. Given the enthusiasm her announcement was received with, I'm pretty sure she will run.
Nancy supports smarter regulations and investment in renewable energy, especially solar. You can find out more on her facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NancyLaplacaForAzCorporationCommission

We'll start gathering at 6 PM, as usual. Nancy will speak at 7 PM.

5/8 Teacher Appreciation Week

Hello liberals,

I apologize for the late notice. I tried to get someone to speak about the Pima Community College situation. As you probably read or heard, there is a community effort to recall four members of the Board. Since there is a rally/march starting at 5:30, followed by the Board meeting, nobody is available.
However, if the meeting ends at a decent time, Phil Lopez might stop by for a quick update.
So... we'll gather as usual at The Shanty at 6 PM to honor what it should be the most respected profession. All teachers are welcome to share their stories, all of us will pay tribute.

Cheers!
