West Bend School Referendum "house parties" to encourage passage of referendum?

House parties are cropping up around the West Bend School District as a method to "divide and conquer" for the passage of the upcoming spring referendum. You may receive an invitation such as this:


We, ___________________, your neighbor at _______________, are hosting a "house party." On Tues., Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. we invite our neighbors to discuss the school bond referendum proposed for a vote in April. As we hope for the best for our children, community and ourselves, we are encouraging you to come and voice your opinion and questions.

This will be a short gathering (less than 1 hr.). You will find out more about this issue and what the proposals are. We really hope you can join us.

If possible, please let us know if you will attend. Call with any questions to ____________________________.

Thank you for your consideration and interest. Hope to see you on Tuesday.

________________________________________________________________________

By all means, attend and be vocal. Just say NO.
