Swing By….The Brown Stone, Tuesday, September 19th. From D. Venezia, food response for sponsors, hopeful to support the 22 women candidates in the county to the same extent as in past years to do so. $5-$6,000 in sponsors so far. L. Massa – our pricing has not increased for the total cost of the event. Would like to see some more people pay in advance but most likely won’t happen, will likely be close to 100 people for the event. The menu is the same as last year, still including drink, and tickets will be distributed as they arrive – allowing us to keep track of participants in the event. There are local and state level council, commissioner, assembly, senator, and mayors running. Please send things to D. Venezia’s office if the Post office box is not working. Change the flyer to go to D. Venezia’s office.
