I'd like to encourage folks to attend this event tonight. This is David's
first major speaking engagement and I hope other AWARE folks will show up
for moral support. The topic is of immediate local importance, but also
reverberates nationwide.
I also hope that someone will record David's talk (audio and/or video) so
that it can be broadcast later on WEFT or UPTV.
I'm on WEFT shift until 7 and won't be able to make the start of the event.
