Via Email: What's at Stake - Investing in Our Children and Our Future

Join West Madison and Middleton Neighbors: Make a Difference in Our Community
Sunday, January 22, 2006, 1:30–3:30 p.m.
Middleton Public Library, 7426 Hubbard Avenue [map]

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Are you concerned about:

• Reductions in public support for education, health care, housing and food assistance?
• The growing disparity between the rich and the poor?
• The long term impact of these trends on children and the future of our society?
• The need for positive new approaches to address our community’s needs?
• Do you feel that you don’t have the power to change things?

If so, please join with your neighbors from West Madison and Middleton in a community-based grassroots initiative to influence public policy.

At this lively, interactive forum you will:Hear from people working with children on a daily basis and people at the heart of the policy debate. With your neighbors plan how we can work together to influence public policy and opinion

Forum speakers include:

• State Representative Terese Berceau
• Charity Eleson of the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families
• Professor Andrew Reschovsky of the UW LaFollette School of Public Affairs
• Peter Munoz of Centro Hispano

I don’t view myself as an “activist”—typically I follow the news and worry about what’s happening, but not much more than that. But I’ve realized that nothing will change unless people who care are out there making it change. We can work together in our community to effect the change we want.

I hope to see you at the Forum—and please feel free to invite friends, family and neighbors. I’m looking forward to working with you and others in our community for the well-being of our children and our future.

To RSVP or for more information please call me, 233-8151, or e-mail HYPERLINK "mailto:grnordheim at ameritech.net" grnordheim@ameritech.net.

PARKING: The Middleton Library requests that we do not use the west parking lot, which is reserved for short-term library patrons. Please use the lot immediately to the south of the building.

Thank you,

Gail Nordheim
