March 8, 2025 Meeting Ken Lawler Fair Districts Georgia

On Saturday, March 8, 2025 at 11:30 a.m. please join us as we meet for an informative program presented by Ken Lawler, Chair of Fair Districts Georgia. Fair Districts GA is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that works to encourage a fair and transparent
redistricting process in Georgia. Their focus is to fight gerrymandering, the practice of drawing legislative district lines to favor one group over another. Fair Districts Georgia’s ultimate goal is to reform Georgia’s process for drawing state and federal electoral maps.

The meeting will be held at the Aldo’s Italian Restaurant, 6690 Roswell Road, Sandy Springs, 30328. Aldo’s is located on the northwest corner of Roswell Road and Abernathy Road, accessible from Abernathy Road, west of Roswell Road. While there is a newer strip mall at that intersection, Aldo’s is in a separate dark yellow stucco structure closer to the corner and has lots of free parking. There are also 2 handicapped spots in the front.
The lunch is $25.00, prix fixe, including one of 4 entrées, Aldo’s famous garlic rolls, iced tea or soft drink, tax and tip.

An Evite will be emailed to all members. As Aldo’s is normally closed for Saturday lunch and opening just for us, there is no limitation on the number they can accommodate, so feel free to invite friends, family and prospective members!
