<div>If you have made appointments with your Legislators for meeting with them in Salem on March 5 please let me know or pur the appointment information on the wiki, <a href="http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day" target="_blank">http://olanetwork.wikispaces.com/OLA+Legislative+Day</a> .</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Currently there are only 12 appointments that have been made that we kinw about. I am sure that more appointments have been made. It helps us know who has been contacted so that the Legislators don't receive multiple contacts for the day. Also, we need to know if an extra push needs to be give to some colleagues to make appointments with their Legislators. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have not made an appointment now is the time to do it. Legislators have very full schedules so making an appointment as early as possible gives you more of a chance to talk with them. Of course, it is also good to talk with their staff if this is the only option available. Staff actively help their Legislators understand the issues.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you need help getting an appointment please let me know.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Being a part of OLA Legislative Day really is fun. I hope many of you are able to be a part of the event.<br><br></div>
