From my email, notice of a DelCOG meeting next week — Thursday, 5 February, to be exact.  They do want you to try to RSVP so they can have enough seats.  Let us know if you are planning to go….

********************************************************************

You are cordially invited:

THE DELAWARE COALITION FOR OPEN GOVERNMENT PRESENTS

Freedom of Information: A National Perspective
Speaker: Charles Davis, NFOIC Executive Director
University of Delaware’s Goodstay Center
2600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Wilmington, Delaware
Thursday, February 5, 2009
6:30 p.m. – social gathering / light refreshments
7 p.m. – program
FREE and open to the public

Scroll down for directions to the Goodstay Center.

Charles Davis, the National Freedom of Information Coalition Executive Director, will take an in-depth look at why freedom of the press, guaranteed by the First Amendment, and the unrestricted free flow of information — both cornerstones of democracy — are under attack. Freedom of Information laws have been weakened, reporters are being subpoenaed to reveal confidential sources and the business of the federal government is increasingly shrouded in secrecy.
