South Central Michigan Greens to Meet 1-3pm
Saturday, January 20 at Biggby's in Albion
==========================================
The South Central Michigan Greens local will hold its monthly meeting
1-3pm on Saturday, January 20 at the Albion Biggby's (217 East Michigan
Avenue).
In honor of Martin Luther King Day, the theme of the meeting will be the
title of one of Dr. King's books -- _Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or
Community?_.
Co-founder John Anthony La Pietra of Marshall will bring a copy of the
book -- as well as copies of the 2016 state platform, which is due to be
updated this year.
Calhoun, Hillsdale, and Jackson County members of the Green Party of
Michigan -- and others who agree with the party's values -- are invited
to come and discuss local and state issues needing to be addressed, the
results of last year's elections, and the opportunities for Green
candidates to run this fall.
La Pietra and fellow co-founder Monika Schwab of Jackson will also
review the state party offices to be elected at the next statewide
meeting February 24 in Grand Rapids.
The South Central Michigan Greens local was formed last March to bring
together Green Party members and supporters at monthly meetings held
around the three-county area.
