Monday January 23 is our first General Meeting of 2102. Join us at the Preston Ridge Campus of Collin College, 9700 Wade Blvd Frisco, Texas. The meeting is in Founders Hall, Room F230. This is the same building but a different room from our usual meeting place. Meet at 6:45, call to order at 7:00. As always there will be refreshments and time to socialize.

Program will include:

• Election of officers
• Plans for 2012
• Redistricting
• Texas Primary
• Voter ID bill

Remember it is time to update your membership! You can do so online. You’ll need to have a 2012 membership to vote on officers. You can also renew at the meeting via check.

If you have an old cell phone, bring it to the meeting to be recycled.

The August meeting’s program topic is Issues in Women’s Health.  We will have two speakers: Dr. Kimberly Williams of Innovations Wellness Center will focus on preventive health care and what women should know and focus on; and Kelly Hart of Planned Parenthood of North Texas will explain how legislative issues and budget cuts have lowered the availability and access to such preventive measures.

This should be a very informative, passionate, and timely discussion on how women can protect themselves and their health.

Gather at 6:45. Call to order at 7:00. Preston Ridge Campus of Collin College, 9700 Wade Blvd., Frisco, Texas, Founders Hall, Shawnee Room F148. Click for detailed maps.

From Lynn Wolfe, organizer of B.R.O.A.D.S:

Hello Book Readers of a Democratic Slant . . .

Hope you all are staying cool and enjoying our latest read, The Devil In Dover. I’m nearly finished with the book and I’m loving it. Of course, it’s also making me angry – which seems to be a constant state of mind for a Texas Democrat.

Our next get together will be Thursday, August 18, 7pm. Diane Groves was nice enough to open her home to us this time around.  Her address is 2508 Rosehill Lane in Plano – near the intersection of Park & Coit. I’ll send another reminder as we get closer to the date.

Cheers,
Lynn Wolfe
