Subject: BCA Meeting Next Thursday; Privacy and Civil Liberties
Date Sent: September 8,2013
This is a reminder to please join us at our next Bannockburn Citizens Association meeting on Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 7:30 pm at St. Marks.
Our speaker will be our neighbor David Medine, who is Chairman of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. The Board is an independent agency within the executive branch established by Congress in 2007 to advise Congress and the President of the United States to ensure that concerns with respect to privacy and civil liberties are appropriately considered in the development and implementation of all laws, regulations, and executive branch policies related to terrorism. This is a timely discussion given the debates that have arisen due to the National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance programs leaked to the press by Edward Snowden.
As always, the meeting will be an opportunity to visit with your neighbors, discuss BCA activities, and pass along news and comments. We would particularly like to welcome new neighbors.
Dues for 2013 were due on January 1. You can pay via PayPal on our website, or you can send your check for $30 (or more) payable to Bannockburn Citizens Association to Bonnie Garrett, BCA Treasurer, 6604 Broxburn Drive, Bethesda, MD 20817.
I look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
Many of you may have received a membership solicitation from the Bannockburn Community Club (BCC), a nearby community organization. Although you are of course free to support any organization you wish, there has been some confusion due to the similarity of names. Please be advised that the BCC is not the Bannockburn Citizens Association.
Best wishes,
Ted Garrett
BCA President
