 The committee is seeking volunteers to help set up the forums, make candidate place labels, hand out and collection question cards before and during the forum, time the candidates during the forum, sort questions for the moderator, and help clean up at the end of the candidate forum. We also would appreciate help with advertising, to include getting press releases to all local newspapers, and to the St. Paul Pioneer Press.  We also need help placing advertisements everywhere and anywhere, and getting copies of the forum flyer to all the local libraries, community centers, and city halls. Please contact either Andrea Brodtmann at brodt001@msn.com or Linda McLoon at linda.mcloon@gmail.com if you can help.
