[nndl] Fw: ANC 2009 City Council Candidates' Forum March 25

Dear ANC Member Reps and Presidents ,
 
I’ve sent previous emails regarding the ANC Candidates Forum and included responses to the ANC questionnaire from the candidates participating in the forum. These responses along with candidate forum guidelines and endorsement process can be found on the ANC website: http://www.ancweb.org/. I recommend highly reading these responses prior to the forum. The answers are very interesting and I think serve really well to distinguish different candidates, their strengths and weaknesses. Many of the questions at the forum will be drawn from candidates’ responses to the questionnaire.
 
Please forward the attached invitation to your neighborhood association lists as everyone is encouraged and welcome to attend. There will also be an endorsement meeting afterwards and anyone belonging to an ANC Member association will be able to attend and participate in discussions. However, only the officially designated representative or president from your association will be allowed to vote in the endorsement proceedings so please encourage your association to send an official representative. We also want to encourage associations to bring their checkbooks so we can support the candidates who are selected for endorsement as much as possible.
 
Thanks and hope to see you all on the 25th!
Danette Chimenti
ANC President
