Please be informed that there will be a Community Conversation in New Haven on Saturday, June 26th.
This is part of a national America Speaks event where people discuss their future. Our national debt is projected to grow at an unsustainable rate if our country remains on its current course. Our nation’s leaders have decided that something needs to be done, but they need to hear from us and they are willing to listen. The result of the meetings will be presented to President Obama and other decision-makers.
Join Americans across the country linked together by live video to let them know what we think. The National Town Meeting is our chance to learn about the issues, find common ground, and present our priorities to leaders in Washington.
You can find more information at the America Speaks website: http://usabudgetdiscussion.org/.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED for pre-concert “Buzz-Making”
Saturday, June 19th from 4:30pm to 7pm
Sunday, June 20th from 3:30pm to 6pm
TO SIGN UP, click here and fill in form.
The goal of the event is simply to get people talking about the value nonprofits have to the Greater New Haven community.
Volunteers, or “Buzz Agents,” will mingle among the picnicking crowd wearing “I Love Greater New Haven Nonprofit” T-shirts, giving out stickers, Impact Fact Cards about over 60 local org’s, and Crossword Puzzles that challenge people to discover the names of the organizations. We will encourage people to pass cards from group to group, and drop conversation starters that encourage people to talk amongst themselves about the value of nonprofits to themselves and their community.
We will meet for an initial Buzz Agent training, and then spread out over the Green. Bring your ideas for how to get people talking!
We would like representatives from each of the organizations that are participating (this email is going to each of the contact people from this and last year’s Impact Fact Card entries), as well as anyone else interested, so spread the word!
