from John Debus,
Hi Everyone,
This is a reminder of our LAST EVENT at this location, this
Tuesday evening, 6:30pm to 8:30pm, August 19, 2014 (a week earlier because of
election next week) at the American Legion Post #40, 810 S. US 1, Fort Pierce,
Fl. 34950. Please use the front entrance (on US1) and it is the large room on
the right side as you come in the front door. Plenty of parking is on the side
of the building. We will have water and green tea (free) available or you can
purchase drinks from the bar in the next room. Come early for some social time
before our event, doors will open at 6:00pm. We must start on time to ensure we
get out on time. We will be moving Next month to the Garden Club Center, 911
Parkway Drive, Fort Pierce. This is located just 4 or 5 short blocks west of
where we are now. It is a smoke free facility (no odors) and we have the
building to ourselves (no noise next door). Nice building and neighborhood, a
definite upgrade. We also have a great speaker and program lined up for
September.
This month we will be having an Open Mic-Nite. Got something
to say? Suggest something that needs attention? Now is your chance to speak out
on anything within our core values, principles or mission. There will be a
speaker signup sheet, so ensure you place yourself on the list to address YOUR
ISSUE. We will have guidelines (not laws) so no one person dominates the mic.
Everyone gets a chance to speak before someone who has spoken gets to speak a
second time. But remember, not a law,
just guidelines to give everyone their voice. Come listen, add your opinion, and
decide on how we can make our community and world a better place. The most
important place to be every month is our event, all our work and activism
starts with the support we get from each other here and the recognition of our
organization depends on the number of people participating.
The action table at our event is set up for group's
information, sign-up sheets, upcoming events and petitions. All groups will
also have 1-3 minutes at the beginning, to tell us about themselves. You can
also contact Kathy or myself to have your events posted on our web-site
happenings page. Check often for up to date HAPPENINGS.
Our TPP Trans-pacific Partnership rally at Oslo overpass
last Friday was canceled because of rain. We rescheduled it for this Friday 22
August at 5:00pm. Just one hour to reach hundreds of people and have a great
time doing it. Come, have some fun and join us.
TCPA does not endorse political candidates and we are a
non-partisan organization. They may come and tell us about themselves and our
members may support them individually. All candidates are invited to our
events.
We are sending membership renewal notices out to those who
have not renewed this year. We hope that you are able to support us again. We
do really need as many members as possible to help us with the cost of our
mission. We are also looking for volunteers, even if it's for an hour or two a
month to sit in on telephone conferences, planning Events, or working on
projects, etc.. Just let me or one of
the board members know of your interest.
Please come out, we need your support to make a difference,
be part of the experience. We also would like your feed-back on our Events and
Organization. So feel free to respond to this e-mail. CHECK OUT OUR WEB-SITE;
tcprogressivealliance.com Check often as
many events are posted late with little notice. We post as soon as we get them.
Also check out our blog with many interesting articles and information posted
there.

PS; I received a request from Dr. Richard Baker from the
Pelican Island Audubon Society for help with their fight with the river. Please
Support the best you can: I’ve appreciated TCPA’s interest in helping the Lagoon. We need your help in our fight to stop the
Oslo boat ramp expansion! As you
probably heard, the judge did not support our appeal denying it thinking that
the county has done enough to mitigate the problem. He did not appreciate this special fish
nursery that needs protection, not more and larger boats. Therefore, we are keeping up our pressure on
the IR county commission to stop this project.
Please you, and other folks in the TCPA write letters to the county
commission, PJ, and USACE. To do so, all the information is on our website. Please see:
www.pelicanislandaudubon.org. We
have put information, the sea grass video, previous letters and press stories
on the top of our website as well as addresses of where to email and write, and
arguments that folks can use. All your help would be very much appreciated!
