O-Town for Obama 

 

This informal meeting is for Obama supporters from OHS and the Oconomowoc area, especially teenagers. As a resident of this area, you know how to best market the campaign to the people of Oconomowoc, and so you'd potentially have a lot of influence! We’d love to hear your ideas! At the meeting, you'll also be able to sign up for making phone calls, going door-to-door, registering people to vote, etc. If you have questions, feel free to contact Ryan Shannon, the rep for the Obama campaign in Oconomowoc, Bridgette Well, a senior next year at OHS, or Caitlin O’Brien, who graduated from OHS this past June. We look forward to hearing your ideas and helping you make a difference with snacks, friends and a gorgeous day at Fowler Park! (Also a note to people involved in NHS: this meeting, as well as anything you do for the campaign, can count as volunteer hours! What better reward could there be for brainstorming ideas?) And if for some reason you can't make it to this event but you still want to volunteer, feel free to talk to Ryan, Caitlin, or Bridgette, or preferably call the Obama office in Waukesha at (262) 521-2008. (It's at 804 North Grand Ave.)
