Whitehouse sets ‘community dinner’ to discuss nation’s sputtering economy
01:00 AM EDT on Monday, August 18, 2008
U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse invites the public to discuss “a weakening economy, the nation’s foreclosure crisis, and rising energy costs,” at a community dinner tomorrow in North Providence, according to an announcement released by his office.
The dinner is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the Salvatore Mancini Senior Resource and Activity Center, at 2 Atlantic Blvd.
Rhode Island’s junior senator has held similar events in various communities across the state since taking office last year.
“These town hall-style dinners, which are free and open to the public, give Rhode Islanders the opportunity to talk directly with Whitehouse about the issues that matter most to them and their families,” the announcement states.
Residents can register for the event on the senator’s Web site, whitehouse.senate.gov/services/dinners.
