We haven't abandoned our beloved Neighborhood House, but it's starting to look like it! Our June meeting, on Election Day, was a bar hang at the Connecticut Yankee. Our July meeting, Independence Day, will be a picnic and a play in Dolores Park. Sometime after that we'll have our party and Shop Local Auction in yet another venue. Who says politics can't be fun?
