Next RAAC Meeting 11/8/14 Santa Rosa

There are important items that will be discussed at this meeting, and as always I do suggest as many of the public attend as possible. Other Constituency Representatives (outside of the DFW seated reps) that would normally attend this meeting are not going to be able to attended this meeting I understand, henceforth time for some others to step up and cover the gap.
