URGENT: MEETING LOCATION CHANGE
FOR TUESDAY, MAY 30, 6 PM

Zion Presbyterian Church Hall is still finishing construction work, so….

ECDC will meet on this Tuesday at the Arlington Park Clubhouse, 1120 Arlington Blvd., El Cerrito.
The agenda will be:

6 pm Pizza/social (half) hour
6:30 pm Meet and Greet with local elected officials
7 pm Talk on Single-payer Healthcare (SB 562) by Carolyn Bowden of the California Nurses Association (CNA)
Plenty of time for Q&A. Should be an exciting discussion on a timely issue!
8 pm Vote on Endorsement of SB 562. The meeting will adjourn after this vote.

See you there!

ACTION ITEM: PROPOSED RESOLUTION ON
HEALTHY CALIFORNIA BILL

I am submitting a proposed resolution of endorsement for SB 562 for voting by the Club on May 30th. Health Care for All has addressed the resolution to Senator Lara, who sponsored the bill, and asks that it be signed by our club president. A PDF of the resolution is available here. Thanks for all of your help.
