9/29/01--Do you want a S. Austin Mayor Candidate
forum? Dear NA Presidents,
What are your thoughts about having a
South Austin Candidate Forum for the upcoming mayoral elections?
I know there will be a South West
forum organized by Nan Clayton. However, several people have
suggested that we should hold our own as in previous years,
to make sure our issues are heard.
Please let me know:
1) Should we have have a joint forum? If a majority of you would like to
have a forum, I will be happy to make the arrangements.
Please respond soon as possible. I
meant to mail this out two weeks ago, but have been sick and
could not muster the energy.
On behalf of BCNA Ingrid Weigand

Hey Gang,
This just in from BCNA:
2) If so
a) shall we have the same format used before,
(i.e. 1-2 questions that every candidate needs to answer
followed by general Q & A) or should there be a different format?
b) should it be at Becker or does someone have
other preferences?
c) what are the two most important issues
regarding South Austin that you would like to have
addressed?
d) what date works best for your group (preferably
in the second or third week of October)?
neighborly yours,
Bryan
