How to Go
WHAT: Town hall meeting on poverty issues.
 
WHEN: 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
I want as many people as possible, who are facing this poverty issue to be able to go. If you cannot go, please write your story on a document or as a message and send it to me either email or facebook, and I will print it out, and take it in. The meeting is coming up SOON, so please don’t wait TOO long to let me know if you want to come. Please let me know no later than 5pm on Janurary 25, if you are coming, or if sending me an email. Any emails that are late, may not be sent in on time to be able to be counted for their purposes.
 
 
To contact me, my cell phone #: 262-721-7774 - text me, or call (leave message if I don’t answer) so I know if I need to pick you up. I can fit up to 4 people besides me. My email so you can send me your story: lika.yvi@gmail.com
 
 
With hope, I can get as many of you down there as possible, in person (which is always best), but, if you can’t, please send me your letter so I can hand them in on your behalf. So, here are the people I am inviting, with hopes... And I am also going to include educators, who may have a story to share about their students who may be in need of assistance or are insecure about their situation, as well as others, who may have helped take care of elderly or disabled people, and advocates working with Veterans and others who also have poverty issues. If I forgot to tag you, and you’d like to come, and need help getting there, let me know. Don’t forget to tell your friends, and you can share the link with them, tag them in a comment, or what ever else you want to get the word out there. Even those who plan on speaking, please have a typed up copy with you, anyway, so in case you don’t have enough time, or there are so many people, you can still get your stuff turned in, and they can use it to go for it. 
 
 
As good people of this area, we deserve a better shake at this.
