Help Veterans! Planning Session November 7!

Even while we are celebrating Veterans’ Day on November 11, politicians in Congress are plotting cuts to their livlihoods!

The Dallas Chapter of the Texas Alliance for Retired Americans meets at the APWU Hall, 2010 Postal Way, 12:30 – 2PM on Thursday, November 7. Click for map

Organizer Judy Bryant writes: “YOU CAN GET TO THE APWU HALL from downtown IN ONE OF TWO EASY WAYS: TAKE THE HAMPTON RD. EXIT RD 42 OFF OF I30 WEST, BUT STAY ON THE SERVICE ROAD RATHER THAN TURNING ON HAMPTON. GO TO THE LIGHT AT POSTAL WAY AND TURN RIGHT. CONTINUE ON POSTAL WAY AND THE APWU HALL IS ON THE RIGHT. OR TAKE WOODALL ROGERS FREEWAY WEST FROM DOWNTOWN, GO ACROSS THE MARGARET HUNT HILL BRIDGE AND STAY ON SINGLETON TO HAMPTON. TURN LEFT ON HAMPTON AND GO TO THE LIGHT AT COMMERCE AND TURN RIGHT. GO UP THE HILL AND TURN LEFT ON POSTAL WAY. CONTINUE ON POSTAL WAY AND THE APWU HALL IS ON THE LEFT.

It’s even easier to find the APWU hall when coming from the west. Exit on Hampton and turn left at the light (Postal Way).

Most of the meeting will be taken up with our plans for a statewide meeting in Waco on Veterans Day, November 11. Judy writes:
