Great new website!
I joined over a year ago and I have never received notices of meetings or activities. I want to be an active member. I would like to keep my dues current, attend meetings, and be a part of this. I was thrilled when I was one of the panelist in the program Rehabilitation vs Punishment that was co-sponsored by the Gray Panthers. I am a member of LULAC and other groups and most certainly want to be a participating member of this great group. But I need some kind of notice. Thank you
Dear Mr. Martinez.
I am Gary Dugger, Convener of the Austin Gray Panthers. I apologize enthusiastically for our poor follow up this last year. We are in an organizational re-shuffling but we still have our office in the AGE building and we meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month, usually at Central Market at Lamar and 38th. Sometimes we meet at Lyons Gardens in East Austin. You can always check with me on my cell for information which is 225-4789. We are planning a party at my home in early August so maybe we can meet.
Sincerely. Gary
Gotcha Leonard, the GP convener will be contacting you shortly via email.
