Everyone is welcome to join us at 6:00 p.m. for dinner (buffet - $15 donation) and socializing. The meeting itself starts at 7:00 p.m. We meet the first Monday of every month.

Our guest speaker will be "Georgia10" a.k.a. Georgia Logothetis, a four-year front-pager at Daily Kos who now serves as Director of New Media for the Alexi Giannoulias U.S. Senate campaign.

We will also be discussing today's announcement by Forrest Claypool that he will be running as an independent against Joe Berrios for Cook County Tax Assessor.

The meeting will also include an endorsement vote for Alexi Giannoulias (for details on being an NDFA voting member please see our bylaws at www.northsidedfa.com), and we will have updates on our adopted candidate Daniel Biss and our endorsed candidates Dan Seals, Pat Quinn, Toni Preckwinkle and Mariyana Spyropoulos as well as our upcoming Northside DFA spring fundraiser.

The mission of our group is to elect socially progressive, fiscally responsible, ethically committed candidates to all levels of government. We need your help make this happen. There are ways for everyone and anyone to help out, so come to a meeting and find out more.
