Tuesday, November 6th 

7:00 PM

Grace Lutheran Church – “The Lounge”

660 N. Charlotte Street

Pottstown, Pa

After the VOTE, you are cordially invited to a FREE viewing of the award winning documentary, “The Greenest Building.”  This is an hour long documentary, narrated by David Ogden Stiers.  The Greenest Building explores the myth that a “green building” is a new building and demonstrates how renovation and adaptive reuse of existing structures fully achieves the sustainability movement’s “triple bottom line” – economic, social, and ecological balance.

Discussion to follow.

Consider running for Ward Representative/Council Seat in 2013.  There can be no greater contribution or satisfaction than aligning with other candidates in the Reform Movement to guide the future of Pottstown.  Run on the issues, not party affiliation.  Team work will be key.  Information will be available at this event.

Wards 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 are up for re-election.
