Postponed: WomenElect Grassroots Assembly / Free conference Saturday, 4/16!

Please note, this conference is now POSTPONED. From the organizers:

I deeply regret to inform you that we found out about 12 hours ago we have some major technical difficulties with the location that we cannot resolve and so therefore we are going to have to postpone the Conference scheduled for this weekend. Please pass this message along to any groups or individuals that you know who were planning to attend so we can assure everyone finds out as soon as possible.

We would like to work towards the idea of smaller regional conferences that we can set up more quickly prior to the petitioning season. We will be in touch in the very near future about dates and times.

Again, we apologize for any inconvienence this may have caused anyone and we regret that we will not see everyone for what we believed was going to be a great event in Washington Heights this weekend. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Cheers,
Diana, Robin and Virginia
