Dedicated to the memory of Vern Hathaway, the Rev. Dr. Hubert G. Locke, John and Marguerite Corbally Professor-emeritus of Public Service at the University of Washington, will be the guest speaker for the Panorama Study Group forum in Quinault auditorium.

Professor Locke's topic will be "Can the United Nations develop a workable 'GLOBAL MARSHALL PLAN?" The presentation will address the urgent need for an international response addressing economic and social justice issues in
war-torn, nature-rent, and poverty-stricken nations.

The program will honor Vern Hathaway who died last year. Vern and Genevieve Hathaway became close friends with Dr. Locke during their years of embership in the Seattle Chapter of the United Nations Association, sharing a common concern for a unified approach to helping all nations to address environmental, educational, medical, economic and social status needs.

In the Hathaways move to the Panorama Retirement Center, Vern and Gen held leadership roles in the Democratic Study Group and the Thurston County Democratic Council. Vern served for several years as the captain for Precinct 311.

Dr. Locke had an illustrious career at the University of Washington that included service as dean of the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs and Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. During his career, Dr. Locke has written several books on racism and anti-Semitism, entitled as "Learning From History: A Black Christian's Perspective on the Holocaust," "The Care and Feeding of White Liberals," "The Church Confronts the Fatherland," and "Exile in the Fatherland: The Prison Letters of Martin Niemoller."

Prof. Locke holds degrees from Wayne State University, the University of Michigan, the University of Chicago, and Chicago Theological Seminary.

All Democratic Study Group forums are open to people living in the Panorama Retirement Center and the general public, regardless of political affiliation.

You're invited to speak up for quality, affordable health care at The Washington Health Care Caucus!  

Join us for the kick-off in Seattle on Thursday, June 19th at 6:30 PM.  Register today at www.washingtoncan.org/caucus

Health care costs are skyrocketing and every day an uninsured Washington resident dies because of lack of insurance and proper medical care.  It's time to reform our broken health care system to give us all the peace of mind we deserve.

The Washington Health Care Caucus is a series of seven townhall meetings throughout Washington state to provide Washingtonians the opportunity to speak up for what we deserve in our health care system and learn about options for reform.  The Washington Health Care Caucus is being organized by the Healthy Washington Coalition, a coalition of over 90 labor unions, community organizations, health care providers, and businesses working for quality, affordable health care for everyone.
