This Sunday August 19th, 7:30pm. Grace Ross, candidate for City Council at large, will be holding a fundraiser (donations- suggested $10 - $50, no one turned away).

At the same time, she wants to have a conversation with whoever shows up about what we’d like to see happen in Worcester, and how a better city council could help us out.

So show up and talk / listen.

Issues like economic development, jobs, programs for youth, neighborhood improvement will probably come up.

It is all going down at the fabulous MB Lounge.

40 Grafton St, Worcester
(Behind union station)

If you haven’t been to the MB, you’ve been missing out.

Plus, it’s a chance to find out more about Grace, and what she could bring to Worcester if elected.

Why vote in the Worcester election? It’s your city if you vote…

Do you care if there are enough jobs? if you live in safe housing, if the schools have enough teachers?

Do you care about cultural awareness and diversity of representation throughout Worcester’s government? when the police are around and when they are not? if the City supports our wide variety of locally-owned businesses? If city policies increase protection for our natural environment, our kid’s health and future and save money? If your expenses keep going up because of property taxes and water and sewer bills?

If any of these issues matter to you, then it matters whom you vote to run this city.
