[Capr-announce] Special CAPR meeting Friday

Wed Oct 18 16:20:18 PDT 2006

There will be a special meeting this Friday, October 20, at IHOP in Issaquah
which is at 1433 SW Sammamish Rd. I have called the meeting so that we can
keep the grassroots effort for 933 going strong. The meeting will be our
usual IHOP format with dinner at 6:00 p.m. and the meeting at 7:00 p.m. We
also have the opportunity to have a senior policy analyst from Reason
Foundation talk with us about property rights in general and I-933
specifically. See Mr. Gilroy's bio below. I am certain you will find this an
evening well spent. See you there.
