Progressive Democrats of America meeting Sat. Nov. 19, 2005 Worcester, MA

[Ian David]

On Saturday Nov. 19, 2005 in Worcester, MA at the public library, from 1:00 to 5:00PM, we will be holding a very exciting and important statewide PDA meeting. All are invited to attend. (See http://pdamerica.org/events/display-full.php?id=341&s=MA for a map to the public library.)



At this meeting we will hear an update and overview regarding PDA from National Director Tim Carpenter. Additionally, we will continue to focus on the work we are doing, or need to do, helping to build a vibrant progressive democratic movement here in MA and across the nation.



There is tremendous momentum for change that we all can feel. This statewide PDA meeting is a excellent opportunity to meet with and join in with others who have rolled up their sleeves and are working together to help steer America in a saner, kinder, wiser, more equitable and peaceful direction.



A meeting agenda is attached. If there is anything you would like added to the agenda please send your suggestions to [e-mail].



Hoping to see you in Worcester.



Yours in peace and struggle,



Susie Patlove, Interim MA National Spokescouncil Representative

Bruce Taub, Interim Eastern MA National Liaison
