Reminder: Breakfast with Legislators is Monday

Posted at 11:44 pm February 24, 2019
By Oak Ridge Today Staff Leave a Comment

The Oak Ridge League of Women Voters will host “Breakfast with the Legislators” on Monday, February 25. The meeting will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. in the Social Room of the Oak Ridge Civic Center at 1403 Oak Ridge Turnpike. A free continental breakfast will be served, a press release said.

State senators Randy McNally and Ken Yager and representatives John Ragan and Kent Calfee have been invited to speak about the current session of the Tennessee General Assembly and respond to questions and hear opinions from the audience. The public is invited to attend, the press release said.

The popular community event offers firsthand information on upcoming legislation and House and Senate committee activities, while prompting dialogue among legislators and citizens, and providing a great networking opportunity for members of the community.

Subsequent 2019 breakfasts will be held at the same time and place the fourth Monday of each month, March 25 and April 22, as long as the General Assembly is in session. If the Oak Ridge schools are closed due to weather conditions, Breakfast with the Legislators will be canceled, the press release said.

The League of Women Voters of Oak Ridge, a nonpartisan political organization for men and women, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy, the press release said.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
