Current Events – Bonus Civic Engagement Opportunity
This Sunday, September 29th at 2 PM, the United
States Congresswoman from our district, Suzanne Bonamici, will be at the Sauvie
Island Grange for a Town Hall meeting. I highly encourage you to attend this
event, to listen, and hopefully engage the congresswoman in conversation.
The assignment: If you choose to attend this event, it will
count for one of your Current Event Log entries and will count for extra credit
toward two of your previous entries. If you go, please follow the general
Current Events Log format:
·
Write one paragraph summarizing the meeting—what
happened? What were the topics? Who spoke? Etc.
·
Write one paragraph with your personal response
to the Town Hall Meeting. Was it fun? Was it effective (did she address her
constituents’ concerns and questions)? Do you agree with what she spoke about?
Why or why not?
As a bonus, I would encourage you to engage the
congresswoman in conversation—perhaps about our school or education funding in
general, or another topic relevant to the island that you are passionate about.
This is a fantastic opportunity to meet our congresswoman in
person, I hope you’ll consider going!
2:00 pm - Sauvie Island Town Hall Meeting with U.S. Representative Suzanne Bonamici, Sauvie Island Academy. This is your opportunity to hear our Congresswoman’s positions on important issues, ask questions, and meet with staff regarding problems with federal agencies.
