Advocates and community members:
Hunger
Action Day 2012 is right around the corner: Friday,
February 3rd in
Olympia!
We
will begin the morning at United Churches (110 11th Ave SE, Olympia) and
continue the day on the Capitol campus meeting with legislators.
Registration
is OPEN!
We
encourage you to register now so that we can do our best to
schedule a meeting for you with your legislators. It’s our goal to have as many
people registered for Hunger Action Day as possible when session begins on Jan. 9.
Spread
the Word:
A
flyer for Hunger Action Day 2012 is attached - please share this with your
networks. We are asking you to help by bringing your friends, family and
co-workers - tell
them to mark their calendars for February 3rd and register!
If
you work for an organization dealing with hunger or poverty-related issues,
please bring as many clients, customers, staff, volunteers and board members
that you can to talk to legislators. The success of our efforts in Olympia
relies on your voice and the voices of those you serve being heard by
decision-makers.
Staying Overnight in Olympia:
For those of you traveling across
the state to Hunger Action Day, we have secured a block of rooms in Olympia at
the Governor's Hotel for February 1st and 2nd for $86/per night. (This is
especially convenient for anyone also planning to attend the Washington Food
Coalition’s Harvest
Against Hunger Area Summit on February 2nd.)
To
reserve a room, please contact the hotel directly. The
block of hotel rooms are held under the Washington Food Coalition. You must make your
reservation by January 11, 2012 to secure the
reduced rate.
If
you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us at ahnc@wsahnc.org
Have a safe and happy holiday!
