Ongoing
Tabling
We
could really use a few NEW people to sign up for a slot tabling at
Cameron Park!
We
still have several slots open (Friday evening or Saturday morning)
through the end of October. The table and all you need (including
instructions) are provided and easy to set up. As
the weather turns cooler, you can table when it's most comfortable
for you! Any time is better than no time. It's
very easy and if you go with a friend it's a pleasant way to spend a
couple of hours. And you can shop for great food when you are done!
Sign up at tinyurl.com/LaXTable4Bernie.
If you want some training before you sign up, have trouble using the
sign up site, or have any questions, please email Cathy.
TABLE
for Bernie at Hmong New Year!
(CRUSA Fields for Kids (2400 Hauser St) any time between 9 a.m. to 6
p.m. either day, Saturday,
September 19 or Sunday, September 20.)
We DO
have a table now (thanks anonymous donors!) Please stop by the BERNIE
TABLE in the MAIN TENT. Check in with whoever is sitting there, or if
no one is there, tidy up the table if it needs it. BRING YOUR OWN
CHAIR if you plan to sit at the table. This
is a great opportunity to support our Hmong friends and
neighbors,
enjoy amazing music, dancing, arts, culture, food, sports and more
PLUS spread the word about Bernie. This is an official Bernie event!

Library, 800 Main St., La Crosse. We
need letters to the editor about BERNIE! Before you come, pick ONE
thing you like about Bernie, you like about his position, you think
is important for the next president to address. We will have paper,

with researching, honing and editing. If you want, read this good HOW
TO WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

DEBATE
WATCH PARTY!
Tuesday,
October 13, time and location TBA. This
is the first of VERY FEW “debates” among Democratic presidential
candidates and it will be broadcast on CNN so if you are like
hundreds of thousands of American who do not have cable or satellite
or high speed, unlimited data internet access, this is about the only
way you will be able to watch this very important program (if you
think something is wrong that you have to PAY to watch presidential
candidates debate the issues, join the club!) As soon as we know the
time, we will set up a location. In the meantime, RSVP
here: http://bit.ly/1QrfWnK
