ChangeAustin.org had its first meeting last Saturday at Opal Divine’s and it was a great success. Over thirty people showed up to learn more about us and to hear a presentation about Impact Fees by Jim Duncan and one about the candidates in the May election by Brian Rodgers.

Many of the attendees joined as voting members and even more signed up to join one of our organizing teams. If you are interested in joining one (blogger team, research team, speakers bureau, administrative team or organizing team) please contact Albert @ 512-775-7617 or albert@ChangeAustin.org.

Brad McClellan, Carol Strayhorn’s son and Perla Cavazos, who is running for the open seat soon to be vacated by Lee Leffingwell were present and introduced themselves to the crowd.

Representatives from several other organizations including Vote Rescue, Texans for Accountable Government and others also joined us in our efforts to clean up City Hall.

Our first volunteer day is this coming Saturday when we are going to be hitting the pavement and the phones.
