August 8, 2008 Opening of Obama Office in GermantownNNers Attend Opening August 7By Conni Bille, Germantown NN Coordinator Several members of Germantown Neighborhood Networks joined the throng at the jam-packed opening of the Obama campaign office at 206 W Chelten Avenue on Thursday night August 7. The enthusiastic and diverse attendees at the meeting came from all sections of Northwest Philly - from Nicetown to Chestnut Hill. Most - including the Germantown contingent - had only a day's notice of the event. US Representative Chaka Fattah told the assembly that a mighty effort to register voters and get out the vote will be needed in Philadelphia in order to deliver a Democratic victory in Pennsylvania. There is no doubt our state is in the cross-hairs of the Republican Party. Several delegates who will attend the Democtatic Convention and field organizers for the Obama campaign also spoke. Already a number of fund-raisers have been organized. NN Helps with Contact Lists and PeopleObama Organizers told NN that locating in Germantown was strategic and central to their main target for the campaign. Wayne and Chelten is a major transportation hub and free parking is available behind the office (enter the lot from Wayne Avenue).
