This is just a quick (final) diary to announce that the Houston Area Kossacks group is rescheduling the meet-up originally planned for Saturday, April 6. There is a Battleground Texas meeting on that day, and we did not want to conflict with it. We are rescheduling the meet-up for Saturday, March 30, at 1:00 PM.
This time, we won't be meeting at a restaurant. Instead, we'll be meeting at Libby Shaw's house for our first-ever Houston Area Kossacks potluck!
This will be our fifth meet-up. We're looking forward to seeing both some familiar faces and hopefully some new ones, too! Here is the vital information about the meet-up:
Date: Saturday, March 30
Time: 1:00 PM
Place: Libby Shaw's house (if you RSVP, Libby Shaw or I will Kosmail you the address)
Because of the rescheduling, I have restarted the RSVP list. If your name was on the list for the April 6 meet-up and you want to attend on March 30, please RSVP again! Here is the current RSVP list:

If you live in the Houston area--or if you're here temporarily and want to stop by--please feel free to come. I just ask that you RSVP as soon as possible. Guests are more than welcome, but please let me know in your RSVP how many people are coming so I can give Libby Shaw an accurate count. You can RSVP either by commenting in this diary or by sending me a Kosmail. We just ask that you bring a dish/food item to pass. Here are the guidelines for bringing food/beverages:
Everyone brings their own beverage. Hosts provide water, of course.
Folks whose last name ends A-H: main dish, sandwiches, pizza, wraps, etc.
Last names I-P: some kind of side dish, salad, fruit, etc.
Q-Z: munchies, appetizers, dessert.
At the meet-up, we will be discussing ways in which we can get involved in local and state politics to turn Texas blue. We will also be preparing for the April 6 Battleground Texas meeting, which some of us will attend. nomandates, who is now co-admin of the group and in charge of our political organizing, will be leading the discussion. Alan Luckey of Organizing for Action will also be at the meet-up.
Don't miss out on this meet-up!
Also, if you're from the Houston area and haven't joined the Houston Area Kossacks group, feel free to send me a Kosmail to request to join. We do all of our communication via e-mail, however, so please also include an e-mail address so we can keep you in the loop!
Looking forward to seeing everybody at Libby Shaw's!
