The Oak Park Friends Meeting would like to extend an invitation to a unique interfaith opportunity being sponsored by the Meeting: a training workshop designed to help persons of faith develop good relations with their elected officials. The leader of the session will be Jim Cason, the Associate Executive Secretary of Friends Committee on National Legislation in Washington DC .  FCNL is the largest peace lobby group in the USA , and Jim has had many years of leadership experience in this area.  We are very excited he has agreed to visit us in Oak Park and facilitate the workshop.

The training session will be held on Saturday, March 10 from 9:30 AM until 12:30 PM at the Oak Park Main Library at 834 Lake Street. Garage parking is available and it is about one block from the Oak Park Avenue stop on the Green CTA line. The training workshop is free and open to the public. There will be light refreshments during the session and an optional Dutch Treat luncheon following at a local Thai Restaurant.

We hope that a group of persons from your faith committee will plan on attending. If you need any additional details, please send queries to Wil Rutt (willrutt @sbcglobal.net) or call Kelly Maynard at (773) 824-0722.
