Calendar of Events for your consideration:
Tuesday, January 8, 2013; The Sedgwick County Area Legislative delegation will be taking public comments from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. in the Jury Room of the Sedgwick County Courthouse, 525 N. Main, Wichita, Ks. (Please use the north entrance to the Courthouse). This is your opportunity as a citizen to let the local legislators know your wishes on issues that will be considered during the 2013 legislative session. In the past, each person wishing to talk has been limited to about 3 minutes depending on the number of people wishing to speak. If you are part of a group with a common agenda, the conventional wisdom is that your presentation will be more effective if you limit your comments to issues that are different than those that have already been brought up by previous speakers.
Thursday, January 10, 2013; The South Central Kansas Legislative Delegation will be taking testimony from local governmental units (i.e. City of Wichita, Sedgwick County, USD-259, etc.) and other organizations of influence (i.e. Chamber of Commerce, Wichita Independent Business Association, etc.) regarding their 2013 legislative agendas. The meeting will be held from 1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. at the Wichita State University Hughes Metroplex (Suderman Room), located on the southeast corner of 29th Street and Oliver. The public is invited to attend this meeting; however, the public will not be able to formally address the legislative delegation. This meeting provides an opportunity for citizens to learn about local governmental agendas, and issues that will be promoted and considered during the 2013 legislative session. It also provides an opportunity for citizens to network with area legislators during meeting breaks and other locally elected officials as well as non-elected people that influence public policy.
Monday, January 14, 2013; The Wichita Chapter of Americans for Prosperity Foundation—Kansas will be hosting a public forum from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. at the Spangles Restaurant, 612 S. Broadway, Wichita, Kansas. The topic, “GOOD INTENTIONS GONE WRONG” with John Stossel, featuring short DVD video presentations followed by group discussion.

There is no cost to attend the meeting. Guests may order food from the Spangles menu at their own cost if they desire to do so. Please join us and bring guests with you.
