Grand opening for Obama’s Waco HQ set for Monday
Area Barack Obama supporters are expected to celebrate the opening of their Waco field office on Monday at 5 p.m., according to a news release.
The office, located at 1818 Columbus Ave. next to Waco Montessori School, will serve as the headquarters for Waco area Obama supporters until Texas’ March 4 primary election. It will be the place to go for campaign materials, phone banking sessions and other get-out-the-vote efforts.
The celebration will brief, however, because local volunteers plan to get busy working at their weekly Monday organizational meeting at Poppa Rollo’s Pizza, 703 N. Valley Mills Drive, at 6 p.m. And volunteers want to attend a precinct training meeting can meet at 6:30 p.m. at Antioch Baptist Church, 1001 N. 18th St.
UPDATE: Below is the rest of the news release sent out at noon on Monday:
Today, Barack Obama’s Waco campaign office will hold an official grand opening open house. After the office opening festivities, volunteers will be encouraged to vote early and will then have the opportunity to make phone calls into their neighborhoods to talk about why they think Barack Obama is the one candidate who can about real change we can believe in.
The office opening builds on the momentum generated last week after Congressman Chet Edwards endorsed Obama, saying he “will be a champion for better health care, housing and quality of life for those who have sacrificed so much for the American family.”
