Convention Week Events

[Faith Dow]

There's several various event pages and some have been added to Google calendars which makes it easier to coordinate. I have questions about a few events that were listed as TBA.

1. Kennedy event for Obama
2. IL Delegate event for Obama
3. Jennifer Lopez event

I couldn't find anything scheduled yet. Does anyone have more info and whether they're closed events or require an rsvp? Thanks!!

Flow,
I am unaware of those particular events. I am hoping others are more informed than I am and can get us the information.
