CARA to host anniversary party for Social Security Aug. 17
From our member Nancy Griesser comes this:
The California Alliance for Retired Americans (CARA) and the Central Labor Council of Fresno and Madera Counties will host a celebration of America’s most successful social program -- Social Security, celebrating 75 years this month. The anniversary event is scheduled 11 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 17, in the U.S. Federal Courthouse Plaza, 2500 Tulare St., in Fresno.
The event's goal is to send a message to Senator Feinstein encouraging her to secure Social Security for future generations, and to ensure that attacks on this important family retirement program are not successful. To attend, RSVP to CARA at (559) 905-3521, toll-free at 877-233-6107, or via e-mail to C21generoza@aol.com.

Can you assist with voter registration Aug. 16?
From our member Nancy Griesser comes this:
Mai Thao of SEIU-UHW called today with information about a non-partisan voter registration event that is coming to Fresno next Monday, Aug. 16. The focus is on registering Hispanic voters. A bus will be coming from San Diego to Sacramento and will stop enroute in Los Angeles, Bakersfield, and Fresno. The event will be held at the Fresno County Courthouse (corner of Tulare & M St.) at 5:00 pm.
Mai is hoping people who can help with voter registration will attend. There will be packets in Spanish for potential voters but Mai knows they will need some help understanding what's in the packet. While speaking Spanish would be helpful, others could be there in the important role of showing support.
Interested in helping? To volunteer, please contact MaiThao at (559) 259-1556.
