There will be presentations by DISH Mayor Calvin Tillman, Deborah Rogers and others. (see details below)
After the meeting, Texas State Representative, Lon Burnam is hosting a beer and pretzel mixer in the Elvis Room of the hotel.
Speaking of Texas House District 90 Representative Lon Burnam, below is his message about today's event, plus 2 other events occurring this week....
Gas drilling has become a sensitive issue for many residents in Fort Worth and across North Texas. The safety of our communities is at stake. Since early last year, I have been at the forefront of this issue to protect the health and property of citizens in Fort Worth.
The struggle to keep Chesapeake from extending a pipeline through Carter Avenue and other communities like it is reaching the tipping point. Now that TXDOT has approved a proposed a pipeline route North of I-30 and away from community residences, victory is in sight.
You can express your concerns about the gas drilling and pipeline issues at any of these three events:
Beer and Pretzels Mixer following a Community Sponsored Forum at 6pm
When: Tuesday December 1, 7:30pm - 9:30pm
Where: The Elvis Room, Hotel Trinity Inn and Suites (I-30 and Beach Street)
A Public Meeting Sponsored by Sen. Davis, Rep. Burnam, and Councilwoman Hicks
When: Wednesday December 2, 6:30pm
Where: Meadowbrook Elemenatry School (4330 Meadowbrook Dr.)
Join me for Coffee and Pan Dulce as I File for Re-Election
When: Thursday December 3, 8:30am - 9:00am

On Tuesday, December 1st, not only can you enjoy beer and pretzels while showing support for the folks on Carter Avenue, you can also learn how to organize your neighborhood by becoming a Democratic Precinct Chair. Applications and a notary will be on hand to sign you up. Join Elvis and me in his suite. Don’t miss my first public appearance with the King!
See you there,
Representative Lon Burnam
Texas House District 90
The beer was good and cold. The pretzels were salty. Perfect!
