 April 10-12 A wonderful weekend of celebrating leaders who are "living their dreams"
On Friday, April 10, 2015 from 7:00 pm until 9:00 pm, the Democrats of DuPage County are featuring two very beautiful civil rights icons, Mrs. Naomi King -widow of civil rights leader, Rev. A.D. King, and Mrs.Cathelean Steele of Justice for Girls and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). The event is entitled, "Living The Dream" Leadership Dinner and will be held at the Kings Banquet Hall in Lombard, Illinois with a special performance by Rhymefest -Oscar/Grammy Winner who co-wrote the song, "Glory" from the movie "Selma" (see invitation attached). Mrs. King's message focuses on a non-violence approach to conflict resolution and the path that should be taken in order to live our dreams and the dream her brother-in-law, Martin Luther King, Jr. preached about. In addition, Mrs. Steele will be highlighted for her message surrounding the importance of education as a preventative measure to such crimes as human sex trafficking as well as promoting a positive self-image. On Saturday, April 11, 2015 at noon at the Two Brothers Round House Banquet Hall in Aurora, Illinois, we are honoring, Super Business Girl, Asia Newson, with the 2015 Corporate Kid Entrepreneur Award. The event is entitled, "Entrepreneurship: A Solution to Youth Crime" with a special performance by multi-talented comedian and entertainer, Kimyung Kim (see flyer attached). The event will include a panel discussion hosted by Mayor of Aurora, Illinois, Tom Weisner and featuring community group, Boys2Men.

Time is running out to save the Forest Preserve. ACT NOW. 
From Shannon Burns, Former District 6 FP Commissioner:
Thanks (again!) to all of you who called Rep Conroy's office to register opposition to HB 3099, which would place the DuPage County Forest Preserve back under County Board rule.
An updated summary of reasons to oppose HB 3099 is HERE
Filing a WITNESS SLIP is one more concrete action that you can take to oppose HB 3099. A witness slip is filed online with the committee in which the bill is being discussed and records opposition to the bill as if you were there in person. Directions for filing a witness slip are below. Please act today! Witness slips can be filed until HB 3099 is voted on in committee - which will be around 2 pm on Wednesday, March 25.
WITNESS SLIPS need to be filed new each week so if you filed one last week, please do another one this week to be sure your voice is heard.
Please forward this, post on Facebook and Twitter and ask your friends to help us defeat HB 3099 by filing a witness slip now.
Directions for filing a witness slip are below. Call or email me if you need help navigating the system. Thank you for helping register opposition to HB3099.
