Sign up today for 2008 MAPE Day on the Hill on March 12

Sign up today for the 2008 MAPE Day on the Hill, which will be held on Wednesday, March 12. in the Great Hall at the state Capitol. Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. MAPE members from all over the state will converge in St. Paul on that day to hear from exciting speakers like House Majority Leader Tony Sertich, learn about important legislative issues and lobby their hometown legislators.

Register now at www.teammape.org/reghill.html. Registration deadline is Friday, March 7.

Day on the Hill is a crucial part of MAPE’s lobbying efforts. This year we will be working to get our contract passed early in the session and advocating for workforce planning legislation.

This year's Day on the Hill will kick off with a morning welcome reception, including coffee, speeches from key elected officials and rundown of the important issues facing MAPE during the legislative session.

MAPE members will then split up to have one-on-one meetings with their elected officials. Legislator appointments give MAPE members a chance to discuss issues of importance to them and their families, such as workforce planning and pay equity, universal single-payer health care, pension security and job outsourcing.

Please Join MAPE for our 2008 Day on the Hill on March 12. Register now at www.teammape.org/reghill.html.
