iends,
This is a reminder to mark your calendars so that you can attend this event. Please let other people know that this badly needed support tool is being made available to those who are trying to advocate for men and women who are sentenced to death and are appealing their convictions and sentences. There is also information for those who will be experiencing capital trials if this happens to fit your needs. Attendance is certainly not limited to families, but anyone who cares about legal defense provided to defendants and death row prisoners is encouraged to come and learn to be more effective.
Since there is food involved, it would be helpful to know how many people will be attending. If you plan to attend or know of others who plan to attend, please let me know. As you see, my e-mail address is nlbailey@earthlink.net, and my phone number is 281-933-4925.
If you would like to have this information about the event sent in flyer form, please e-mail me, and I will send it to you as a Microsoft Word attachment. We really need to get the word out about this event. Please feel free to forward this message to your contacts and other list serves.
