We are co-sponsoring this event with the Pineville Concerned Citizens at the Community Center:  708 Main St.; Pineville, as a non-partisan session to learn more about gerrymandering.  (Gerrymandering is defined as the verb  ” to manipulate the boundaries of (an electoral constituency) so as to favor one party or class”.  Doors will open at 5p (simple eats) with the program panel presentation at 6p.  Panelists include:  Retired Judge Ray Swent, Mike Stagg, Lady Carlson, and Lynn Stewart.

We need volunteers to help with the registration, interacting, or to come and be part of the audience.

Date:  February 22, Thursday:  5-7p

AAUW members are invited to attend a special event: Tea at Fort Randolph in Pineville on Saturday, February 11, 2017 from 2 – 4p. This should be not only educational and interesting, but a lot of fun! Bobbi Hynson is coordinating this meeting, which will actually be a tea with a lecture about the uses and history of tea. You may invite a friend, who might be a potential member, to enjoy this even with us. There will be no charge for our using the facility or for the tea. However, if you would like to make a donation cover the cost of the ingredients, that would be appreciated, I’m sure. (This is strictly up to you.) Carrie from Fort Randolph will assist Bobbie with the facts and amenities for the tea. Please be on time, so that the seating can be managed. Please make plans to attend this special event!

Please RSVP Gloria @ 318-487-2800 or Bobbi @ 318-442-8629. You can leave a message. RSVP is required so that adequate seating, food, and tea can be planned..
