<div>Where: Bella Luna Restaurant ~ Milky Way, in the Sam Adams Brewery complex 2 blocks from the Stony Brook T stop</div><div>Why: To learn why Alan is running and share issues that matter to you!</div><div><br></div><div>
Support Alan Khazei, founder of City Year, for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Ted Kennedy. The event is to meet and dialogue with Alan and other citizens about the issues important to you. I believe in not only what Alan stands for, but also the way he goes about building community through partnership, citizen power, service, and activism. At the event, there will be information about how to get involved in any small way you can, and a chance to hear more about the issues and have your voice heard. It's also just a cool venue to have some pizza and drinks</div>

"Alan Khazei, co-founder of City Year, is the least known of the four but he showed in the debate why he’s the class of the field. On how to stimulate the still-faltering economy, he had specific plans for tax breaks to help struggling small businesses. To avoid adding to the deficit, he would restore Clinton-era tax levels."--- JoAnn Fitzpatrick, Quincy Patriot Ledger, 10/31/2009.</p>
