Hot on the heels of last month's unavoidable postponement of her speaking engagement on health care, Congressmember Jackie Speier has announced that she will appear at the Pacifica Democrats' monthly breakfast meeting on Saturday morning, May 1, to discuss the highly controversial Health Care Reform Bill. The 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. meeting will be held in the banquet room of the Sharp Park Golf Course Restaurant's Banquet Room, Francisco and Sharp Park Boulveards, in Pacifica.

This meeting is a special event, and is in addition to the club's regularly scheduled monthly meeting.

This will be, as before, a RSVP only event, and an excellent opportunity to hear the Congressmember speak to health care issues and concerns, while having breakfast with both the Congressmember and the Pacifica Democrats, as well as other Democrats throughout the Coastside and North County areas.

All meetings are open to the public. One neither needs to be a member nor a Democrat to attend. A full breakfast is available for $12; continental breakfast for $6; coffee only for $3. RSVPS are strictly required. When responding, please indicate food/beverage choice. Doors open at 9 a.m. The meeting begins at 9:30 a.m.

Due to the size of the anticipated crowd, all attendees are being asked to arrive early so that they may be seated and have their meals served before the meeting begins.

In view of both safety and comfort considerations of the meeting's attendees,

as well as the need of the wait staff to move both quickly and freely in serving the attendees, there will be no standing room allowed. Seating will be assigned based upon the receipt date of the RSVPs.

All those who want to be assured of the opportunity to not only hear Speier's talk on the Health Care Reform Bill, but to also participate in what augurs to be a vigorous Q and A on this greatly debated topic, please communicate your RSVP as soon as possible to Barbara Arietta, Pacifica Democrats' president at 415-246-0775 or email: barietta@hotmail.com
