Reminder - November Meeting Wednesday 11/17

Special Time!  5:45pm

Our November meeting is intentionally scheduled to be a short, crisp one hour with a hard stop at 6:45pm, so that members can join the Environment and Climate Caucus for a program on the environmental benefits of installing heat pumps.

Keep in mind, we do not customarily have a November meeting - we usually have an in-person festive fundraiser.  We will be back with Whine and Cheezy Excuses in 2022!

7:00pm - Environment and Climate Change Program

Hosted by Third Place Commons

Electric heat pumps have become a popular way to heat our homes, even homes with existing gas and oil heating systems. They are efficient, don’t produce carbon emissions, and provide the additional benefit of air conditioning in hot weather. Daniel Poppe of Spark Northwest, a local clean energy non-profit, will explain how they work and installation considerations.

This event will be held via a separate Zoom.

==================

Get Out The Vote for the November election is well underway, and our October meeting is also coming soon! 

We have sample ballots in-house, and if you are a PCO, you have been contacted about distribution for your precinct.

We have precincts with no PCO, however, so if you are not a PCO and would like to adopt a precinct, or if you are a PCO who wishes to do more than one precinct, please contact PCO chair and District Vice Chair Andrzej Montaño at [email protected]

We also have an excellent program for our October meeting!  We will be presenting Inequities in Health Care with an excellent panel of experts in October.

We continue our series of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs with our October presentation:

Inequities in Health Care

Early on in this pandemic we witnessed the uneven toll that Covid-19 placed on communities of color and indigenous communities in our country. We know, however, that this is only one example of the extensive and devastating inequities in healthcare. In our upcoming session, experts will explore some of the origins of this problem and the role of policy in exacerbating or mitigating these inequities.
