[PAA-Discuss] Make reservations NOW -HPJC dinner with Jim Hightower -Sat. Nov 12

[Bill Crosier]

I hope to see many of you at the annual HPJC fundraising dinner on 
Nov. 12.  This year, the national peacemaker awardee and keynote 
speaker is Jim Hightower.  Local peacemakers to be recognized are 
civil rights icon Johnny Mata, The Center for the Healing of Racism, 
and Food Not Bombs.

See below, and details at http://hpjc.org  You can also reserve a 
seat an make a secure online donation there for the dinner.  If you 
can't do that, call me or Cheryl at 713-641-4941.

Please register today (or at least by this weekend) if you have not 
already done so.  You can pick a vegan meal if you prefer.  The seats 
are disappearing, and we have to let the hotel know early next week 
how many people to plan for.

Although it's a fundraiser, there are some sponsored seats available 
that major donors have paid for, and you can ask for them if you 
can't afford to come.  Of course, it's best to make some sort of 
donation, to at least cover the cost of the meal and other expenses 
at the hotel.

Organizational members of HPJC can also table at the dinner, too, for 
distributing literature, etc.  PAA is a member of HPJC, and we can 
have a table if someone wants/needs that and can help set it up.  But 
we need to make plans/reserve space for that in advance, too.

Thanks, and I'm looking forward to seeing you!

Bill
