[Vision2020] time for a party

[bill london]

The Moscow Civic Association (MCA) is celebrating its second birthday 
with a party, providing a free dinner, live music, and a short 
informational program to the public beginning at 6:30pm on Monday, 
November 8, at the 1912 Center in Moscow.

The MCA was established in November of 2002.  The goal of the evening is 
to celebrate the activist group and its community successes over the 
last two years.

Author Andrea Vogt, who wrote the biography of Idaho community organizer 
Bill Wassmuth, will speak about activism as defined and lived by the 
famed human rights supporter.  In addition, representatives from Moscow 
community groups will share information about their activities
and plans during the short program. 

Live music from Zugunrue, a local guitar trio playing a diverse mix of 
blues, cowboy ballads, Celtic tunes and contemporary folksongs, will 
follow the program. The band's repertoire includes original compositions 
mixed with a variety of contemporary music, as well as old standards 
like "Tennessee Waltz" and "Ghost Riders in the Sky."

The MCA is planning the evening to combine the informational program, 
music, and plenty of time to meet and mingle in a fun atmosphere.   The 
MCA board will provide complimentary food, music, and non-alcoholic 
beverages. Alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase. 

The doors will open for dinner at 6:30pm, and the formal program is 
planned for 7pm to 8pm.  Live music and dancing will begin at 8pm.  
Families and all members of the community are welcome. 

The MCA was created two years ago, and during those two years, has:

--hosted over 14 informational public meetings, with expert panels on 
diverse topics, with an average of 50 people attending each meeting;
         ---welcomed well over 100 dues-paying members;
         ---successfully supported two candidates for seats on the 
Moscow City Council;
         --- applied and advanced smart growth principles in community 
issues including water conservation and land use planning;
         --- sent representatives to attend over 100 local meetings
