Mayoral Debate Dates, Public Forum Letters, and Help the Campaigns

Two Mayoral Candidate debates/forums are scheduled; the 1st needs prior registration.

The Greater Brookfield Chamber of Commerce sponsored debate is Monday, March 20th, 11am to 1pm, at the Brookfield Public Safety Building (just north of City Hall--2100 N. Calhoun Rd.) All are welcome, but you MUST pre-register to attend: call 786-1886 or email to bcc@brookfieldchamber.com (In 2002 this debate was sponsored by VK and the Chamber.)

The Brookfield League and Concerned Calhoun Community (CCC) is sponsoring the 2nd debate on Wednesday, March 22nd, at 7pm, also at the Brookfield Safety Building. There will be time for a meet and greet afterwards. All are welcome.

It is time to write those letters of endorsement for the candidates of your choice. You must include your name, address, and phone number although only your name will appear.

Deadline for the Brookfield News is noon, Tuesday, March 14 (earlier is better). You may co-write with friends or neighbors, just add all your names at the bottom of the submission. Letters must be 400 words or less. Mail to: Public Forum, P O Box 510210, New Berlin, WI 53151. Fax: 262-938-5001, or email to communitynews@jcpgroup.com or mzahn@jcpgroup.com and write REDIRECT in the subject line (or their spam filter will reject it). Letters will appear until the 23rd, but must be submitted earlier. Sometimes letters are heavily edited if submitted at the last minute.

The Milwaukee Journal also accepts letters of endorsement to "The Morning Mail". There is a 200 word maximum. Send to jsedit@journalsentinel.com You may send a copy to Lisa Sink, the reporter for MJS Brookfield too, lsink@journalsentinel.com
