On May 28th you are cordially invited to the 2008 Kick-Off of the Rural Organizing Campaign (ROC)!

What is the ROC?
The ROC is a shared, growing effort coordinated by 16 organizations to address the unique issues of Rural Ohioans, such as energy costs, agricultural concerns, access to healthcare and challenges in infrastructure development. We are working to raise awareness with our public officials in Columbus about these unique issues and find ways to get our members and the general voting public more involved in electoral and civic work.

Confirmed Speakers:
Becky Berroyer - UFCW 1059, President
Patricia Frost-Brooks - OEA, President
Joe Logan - Farmers Union, President
Lloyd Mahaffey - UAW, Director Region 2B
Joe Rugola - Ohio AFL-CIO, President

Keynote Speaker: Ted Strickland (invited)

Food and drinks will be provided.

Come kick-off the 2008 Election and learn from our leaders what is at stake and how you can get involved in bringing change to our country and NW Ohio!
