Joe Mendonca Kick Off

Joe Mendonca is running for City Council.  Joe was on the School Committee for some time, doing a great job.  Then he ran for City Council and came in 10th and actually got on for a few weeks, when a Council Member resigned.  But, then he ran again and was again the runner up.

Needless to say, I am a big fan of Joe's.

Joe is running again.  He dropped off a "mass mailing" at the Post Office, which went adrift.  Given that (1) Joe has done this before and (2) we have one of the better Post Offices in the nation, this is a low probability event, but such things do happen.  So, I am posting on the mailing, which is an invite to his Kick Off Event.

Where:  Lowell Elks Lodge on Old Ferry Road
Date:     Thursday, June 18th
Time:     7-9 PM

Suggested contribution is $20 per person

Regarding the contribution, I was at a meeting last night where we touched on the cost of running. The two people who got on the City Council last time for the first time spent an average of $42,000. That is a lot of money. If we are going to encourage people to run for office—and people have to run for our system of government to work—we are going to have to help fund them.  We is you and me.

I hope to see you there.
