February General Membership meeting notes

Richard Conlin

The General Membership meeting was yesterday (2/15).  We had a very long and very nice visit from Richard Conlin, the Seattle City Council President.  The membership had lots of great questions and I’m sure the question and answer session could have gone on for hours.

Cara from Planned Parenthood

We were also visited by Cara Bilodeau of Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest.  She talked about the various issues around funding family planning & cuts that have been proposed.

She also talked about bills HB1366 and SB5274 (the Limited Service Pregnancy Center Accountability Act).  Details for both can be found here:

Alene Brede

Alene Brede Expresses Sincere Thank You for 11th LD’s Recent Fundraising Efforts

Alene’s Breast Cancer Fundraiser was a huge success.  Alene has expressed sincere gratitude for the tremendous support she has received from the 11th LD.  While it is true that Alene’s condition was just advanced to Stage IV, she is very excited that she just received tentative approval to participate in a clinical trial for PARP Inhibitors, a new treatment for women with Triple Negative Breast Cancer at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Care Alliance.
