The summer is heating up and so are politics and activism in our area. 

We enjoyed hearing Dem. US Rep candidate Robert Abboud announce his candidacy in July. Check out his website. http://robertabboud.com/  

We hope to get him to our Sept. meeting, so keep your eyes open for information about that in the future.
