[Livingwage] Living Wage Meeting and appearnace before the Champaign City Council

[Belden Fields]

   	This is to remind people of two important events regarding the Living 
Wage (by the way, did you all notice that the new governor mention the 
living wage in his inaugural speech?)

	First, there will be a Living Wage Association meeting at noon, next 
Saturday (the 18th), at the offices of the Illinois Eduction Association, 
on Maple Street in Urbana (behind Schnuck's and above Par's Western Store).

	Second, on the following Tuesday (the 21st), at 7 pm, there will be an 
attempt by citizens to convince the Champaign City Council to hold a study 
session on the living wage so that it can go before the council for a 
vote.  We are encouraging people, especially but not limited to, those who 
live in Champaign, to appear before the council to support this 
effort.  You need only state your name, address, and support for the study 
session.  If people who were planning to speak before the session, could 
attend the meeting on Saturday, that would be especially good.  But it is 
not necessary.

	I hope to see all of you at one or both of these events.
Have a good week.
