January General Meeting

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Hello Cambridge Woods neighbors,
The next General Meeting will be held Tuesday, Jan 19, at 7:00pm at the Urban Ecology Center.

It should be an exciting meeting!
1)  Of course, there will be the general meeting.  An important happening will be the passing of our new bylaws allowing us to be a 501c(3), non-profit organization!  Come and vote!

2)  Stargazer Steve Marshall will illuminate our eyes and brains (depending on the cloud cover that night) with an exciting talk!

3)  Joe Klein will help us celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Socialist “takeover” in Milwaukee called, “The Milwaukee Experiment: How the Socialists successfully swept the Milwaukee municipal elections in 1910.”

Wow!  It should be a fun meeting, so please bring a friend or two that
either loves stargazing or politics!
Carole Dede
VP CWNA
