POOR PEOPLE’S CAMPAIGN
Urgent: Please let Tom Clarkson ([email protected]) know if you can help canvass Gates of Ballston housing complex – on Wednesday, Aug. 28 from about 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This is a huge complex (464 units) which includes a very large garden apartment complex. It gets hot and there are stairs, so it is not easy going. Detta Kissel of the Arlington NAACP needs at least 10 people to do that complex. There are a lot of Spanish-speaking families so SPANISH SPEAKERS NEEDED. She also needs 2 Spanish speakers to canvass Arbor Heights apartments on Monday, Sept 9 (198 units). Signup link is here.
If you prefer other kinds of GOTV activities please see this Google Document, “Ways to Reach Poor and Low-income Voters” for other ideas for postcarding, social media reaching, or phone-banking. Please add your ideas directly to this page so that we can all see them.

GARDEN WORK FOR RONALDO
Ronaldo Vail (father of our refugee family from Guatemala) has resumed working at Target 4 days a week; however, his schedule at Target varies. Please call Ronaldo directly @ 731-618-1459 to set up a time. He welcomes extra work around the garden and home. Please click here for directions to his home.
Food for AFAC — Keep those boxes of cold cereal (and other food donations) coming! NOVA has been connected with the Arlington Food Assistance Center for all of its 35-year existence. Summer is a time when many Arlington families need more help (because school is out and children don’t have access to school-provided breakfast and lunch). AFAC is now serving more than 3,700 families every week. Please bring a box or two of cold cereal, or peanut butter, canned tuna, canned soup (in pop-top cans), plain pasta or canned beans.
Next Sunday is the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The planners are Charley Miller OFM and Scott and Yaneth Spaine. The scribe will be Linda Christie who needs all announcements in writing.
