Reminder: All Aboard Washington-AORTA Annual Meeting Next Saturday

Greetings from All Aboard Washington!

You are invited to attend the joint annual meeting of All Aboard Washington and The Association of Oregon Rail and Transit Advocates next Saturday, December 17, from 1-3 pm. It will be a hybrid meeting. Please register online.

In Person

Centralia Depot, 210 Railroad Ave., Centralia, Washington 98531. Amtrak Cascades train service is unfortunately still limited, but you can check the schedule here.

If you attend in person, health officials are strongly urging everyone to wear masks, due to the "tripledemic" of COVID-19, flu and RSV.

On Zoom

Please register online and the Zoom link will be sent to you.

Lunch

If you would like to join us for lunch, a group will be going to McMenamins Olympic Club around 11:30. When you register, please add a note under "Special Instructions" so that we can let the restaurant know how many people to expect.

Agenda

The meeting will include a panel discussion on 2023 legislative priorities for transportation, moderated by Luis Moscoso, our Government Affairs Director. Participants include:

We'll also learn about efforts in our region to get Amtrak to provide more equipment and increase service. AAWA and AORTA will also hold their annual meetings.

Donations Welcome

Don't forget to join, renew your membership, or donate. We are also working on a matching donation drive for the first part of 2023.

Stay In Touch!

We'll keep you informed of our efforts in the coming year, by email, on our website, and on social media. You've probably heard about the latest social media platform, Mastodon. We'll be tooting there (no kidding, that's what they're called!) Please connect with us.

Sincerely,
Kathy Davis
AAWA President
