262 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY View Map
Sunday, October 9, 3:00pm to 6:00pm

As you know, our good friend Chris Owens is running for Congress in Brooklyn’s 11th District next year.

You probably also know that Chris has always been on our side. He stood with us when we worked so hard for Howard Dean’s campaign. He has been an advocate for many progressive causes and, unlike many elected officials, he has stood courageously against Bruce Ratner’s ill-conceived Atlantic Yards development scheme. In fact, on this issue he is the ONLY candidate in this race who has stood by the community rather than the developer.

Now it’s our turn to help Chris.

Please join us for a wine & cheese reception on my roof on Sunday, October 9, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. As a salute to New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta, we will be playing lots of jazz, blues, zydeco and rhythm & blues.

This will be the last party we will have on my roof this year, so please come to take advantage of the spectacular view and the nice weather while you can.

I know that all of you have given a bit of money to various candidates this year. That’s why I have waited to do this after the September primary.

Suggested donation: $25, $50, or more. Please give as generously as you can. Payment can be made by check or cash and can be presented at the door or via mail (by no later than October 6, but don’t mail cash) to: Wayne Brooks, 262 Court Street #2, Brooklyn, NY 11231. If you are unable to attend but would like to make a contribution, please go to Chris’s web site: http://voteowens.com/ [1].
