Robert –
Is the Green Energy & Environment forum at the YMCA (men’s Y) or YWCA (women’s Y)?
You list the YMCA on Temple Street – but this is the YWCA.
Clarification needed.
JIM
Comment by jim Cusack — October 4, 2011 @ 10:51 pm
Quite correct, Jim. It’s the YMCA on Mass. Ave. for the Green Energy & Environment forum.
Comment by Robert Winters — October 5, 2011 @ 12:27 am
I commented out the earlier part of the Calendar for easier reading. I’ll reveal the full Calendar again after the election so that it will be available in the archives for future years.

Is there a city council candidate forum run by Frank Duehay at Cambridge Homes this Wed or coming up soon?
Comment by Susan — October 18, 2011 @ 2:31 pm
I haven’t heard of a forum run by Frank Duehay, but there is a City Council forum this Wednesday put together by the Ward 9 Democratic Committee – which is, I believe, Frank’s ward. I suppose it’s possible that he’s involved in this week’s forum. If anyone knows of another candidate forum PLEASE let us all know.
Comment by Robert Winters — October 18, 2011 @ 3:03 pm
There were two private forums one this morning (10/20) and yesterday morning at The Cambridge Homes on Mt Auburn Street. Former Mayor, Frank Duehay chaired the panel of candidates and asked 9 specific questions that presumably were posed by residents.

Which candidates showed up for the Forum at Cambridge Homes? Better yet, who didn’t show up?
