"Meet the Candidates" info night
13 March, 2011
Summer Hill Church will be hosting a 'Meet The Candidates' evening for residents of the Canterbury electorate. Linda Burney (ALP), Albert Fam (CDP) and Marc Rerceretnam (Greens) will each give a short presentation and then answer questions from the community in the lead up to the state election.
For our Rev Chris Braga, it was a case of fulfilling a need that he felt hadn't been met in the neighbourhood. "One of our church members had expressed frustration at the lack of such an event happening in Summer Hill, so I felt it was the perfect opportunity for us as a church to facilitate this.
"People often find themselves turning up on election day wishing they knew more about the candidates, what they stand for, what their vision is for the community, or how they intend to represent their constituents in Parliament. I personally felt it was important that people be educated and informed about those who wish to gain their vote and represent them, and I for one am thrilled that our church can provide such an opportunity for the neighbourhood."
The event will be held inside our church building next Monday 21 March, 7.15 for a 7.30pm start. Tea and coffee will be provided. All welcome.
