Charlotte Tea Party Headquarters

For all of those that are taking the time out of your holiday schedules to participate in our Candlelight Vigil tomorrow night in Charlotte - THANK YOU. The amount of response I have received to this in just a few short days has been overwhelming! Tomorrow night is going to be a great experience for everyone participating - and it is going to send a very clear message to Congress. Have no doubt in your mind - you WILL be making a difference!

Here are some updates about the event:

The office building of 1520 South Boulevard is located at the corner of South Boulevard and Park Avenue. (There is a Carabba's (sp?) Restaurant on the bottom floor of the office building, and a Fuel Pizza, CVS Pharmacy and Einstein Bagel shop in the area, if that rings some bells as to where it is located. I confirmed with the security guard that Kay Hagan's office suite does face South Boulevard.

To avoid parking nightmares: The LYNX line stops at East Boulevard as well as at Bland Street. The building is on South Boulevard, between these two stops. There are Park-And-Ride stations from I-485 up through Scaleybark Road. A round-trip ticket, according to the website, runs $3.00. Here's the website for more info:

I think that best place to meet will be at the corner of South Boulevard and Renssealer Avenue (the back end of the building, ACROSS from Einstein Bagels - we will probably want to stay on the same side of the road as 1520 South Boulevard, unless we are asked to move to a different area - if there is a large crowd, it will be difficult for all of us to cross the road without obstructing traffic).

When the clock hits about 7:10-7:15pm, we can light our candles and walk toward the front area of the building. There are a couple of areas we can 'congregate' from the looks of it...it all depends on the turnout!

Thanks again - DRESS WARMLY!!! I look forward to seeing you tomorrow night!
