Invitation to Dunn Gaherin's gathering via Zoom Feb. 23rd at 6:30pm

[Kathleen Kouril Grieser]

Dear Neighbors,

 

On Tuesday, February 23rd from 6:30 pm - 7:30 p.m., Newton's own Seana Gaherin is hosting a Special Election gathering at Dunn Gaherin's via zoom!

 

You'll have the opportunity to see old friends and meet two outstanding candidates for Newton City Council, John Oliver and Tarik Lucas, who are running in the special election that is scheduled for March 16, 2021.  All Newton voters can vote in this election.

If you want to support this local restaurant from the comfort of your home during the event, you can order food and drinks from Dunn Gaherin's here: https://www.toasttab.com/dunn-gaherins/v3/?mode=fulfillment 

 

•             John Oliver is running to fill the Ward 1 at Large seat of the late Allan (Jay) Ciccone, Jr.   He will be a thoughtful and independent member of the City Council.  John is co-President of the Newton North PTSO and was President of the Horace Mann PTO, is on the Board of Newton Community Education, has coached youth sports, and helped lead the effort to preserve Albermarle Field and find an alternative site for a new Senior Center. 

 

•             Tarik Lucas is running to fill the Ward 2 at Large seat vacated by our new congressman, Jake Auchincloss. Tarik will bring a common sense, calm, practical approach to the City Council and add a diverse voice to the City Council.  He is the son of a union postal worker and a union psychiatric nurse and a graduate of the Brookline Public Schools and Springfield College. Tarik is an active member of the Newton community, serving as a member of the Newtonville Historic District Commission and having been an elected member, and vice president, of the Newtonville Area Council.
