Hi Everyone,

In an effort to educate our selves, Region 67 is hosting a session to learn more about the Affordable Health Care Act and to strategize about making it work for adjuncts — not lose hours — developing strong contract language.

We are considering a meeting on Saturday, February 23. We have not set a time or place. But it would probably be at Grace Church, which is 637 South Dearborn. Although the plans are not set yet, I want to get this out to you to get a sense of who can plan. Please let me know if you can come or if you can send someone one from your local.

If you pass this this on to someone you think would be interested in coming, let me know who they are and what their contact information is.
