In an earlier post, I proposed that the upcoming AmericaSpeaks Town Meeting on the federal debt in Dallas on June 26 was a chance to facilitate a part of history. I can now report that it will be even easier to participate than I earlier reported. Some of you have expressed an interest, but the mandatory on-site training in Dallas on Friday afternoon before our big Saturday event was almost a deal breaker.
Well, good news!
We have the good fortune of living in just the right time zone which means that Dallas facilitators can get their dose of on-site training on June 26, the day of the event at 8:30 a.m.! Of course, that makes for a very early wake-up call for the Austinites who volunteer, but if you leave comments here looking for shared ride opportunities, you can alternate driving and sleeping on the way.
Here is a complete list of the training times. There are three sessions and each session has a couple of options to make it easy on your schedule. All session are conducted via telephone and all times below are in CENTRAL.
Session 1: Telephone (Choose ONE of the following)
- Sun, June 13, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. OR
- Mon, June 14, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. OR
- Tue, June 15, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. OR
Session 2: Telephone (Choose ONE of the following)
- Sun, June 20, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. OR
- Mon, June 21, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. OR
- Tue, June 22, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. OR
Session 3 Conducted on-site at the Dallas Convention Center (Choose ONE of the following)
- Fri, June 25, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. OR
- Sat, June 26, 8:30 a.m.
I’m still working on securing host housing in Dallas if you’re interested in coming in on Friday. It will make for a much more relaxing experience, but I wanted you to know that there are options for the early birds.
If you want to be a facilitator, you must apply here.
