A Civics Lesson On How To Solve A Problem Club Business begins at 7:30pm Forum begins at 8:00pm We can all get confused sometimes when trying to figure out which level of government handles which kind of issues. And then to make matters even more complicated, how do we find out within the level of government, who is the correct authority to ask? This forum will answer these questions and give the audience the tools and know-how to decipher the maze of bureaucracy. We are not solving the issues at hand today (that will be another forum/town hall in the future!), but we are learning about the process and how to find the correct contact!
