Dear Lucas, Don't forget, Spring for Reform is just around the corner! If you have not yet purchased your ticket , please do, and join us for a lively reception and discussion next Wednesday, May 25th from 6-8:30pm. WNYC's Brian Lehrer will lead a conversation among civic leaders and 2011 honorees Lucy Cabrera, Liz Neumark and Karen Washington about food systems and sustainability in New York City. Learn how local government impacts specific issues and goals - and how Citizens Union's mission parallels and complements issues-based work. Details follow. I hope to see you there! Sincerely, Dick Dadey
