Ward 6 City Council Candidates Forum

Wednesday, August  31, 2011 7:00-9:30 p.m.

Brief introductory statements:

I was first elected two years ago and it took everyone by surprise, including me. I changed my schedule as a Harvard and MIT student pursuing a dual MPA/MBA degree to part-time status so I could devote my full energy to the Council. I've made the most of the opportunity by helping as many people and implementing as much policy as I can.  I think those who have worked with me will say I'm responsive, thoughtful, always ready to listen, and eager to help.

Dear Friend,

Please come to our house for an end-of-summer North Cambridge neighborhood party to get to know City Councilor Leland Cheung: 20 Gold Star Road, 4-6 PM on Saturday, September 10th.

As most of you know, we have been very active in Main Street North Cambridge to promote the livability and walkability of North Mass Ave. As part of that effort, we put forward an ambitious zoning change to preserve retail along our section of the Avenue. Leland took instrumental and forceful action for this initiative that we believe will be effective in preserving the retail and walkability of our neighborhood.

Leland has worked hard for North Cambridge; he's progressive and he's effective; we thought you'd like to meet him. Even more than that, come to hang out with us and your neighbors and enjoy some food, refreshments, and maybe a little music. You'll have a good time.

Please RSVP by sending us an email back.

Hope to see you there,

Michael & Macky

 

The Entrepreneur Walk of Fame will unveil its inaugural class of seven esteemed honorees whose names will be immortalized with a sidewalk star in Kendall Square on Friday, September 16 at 1:00 p.m. Similar to Hollywood’s celebration of movie stars, the Entrepreneur Walk of Fame awards entrepreneurs at the top of their fields who have taken strong steps to transform the business culture, jumpstart a sector of the economy, and most importantly, create jobs. Posters depicting the inspirational stories of the honorees will be displayed around the square with QR codes that allow smartphone users to tap into a virtual world of information to enrich the learning experience. I am proud to lead this initiative to honor individuals who have created new jobs and enhanced the innovation economy. It is my hope that over the long term the Entrepreneur Walk of Fame will inspire our kids to consider entrepreneurship as a career and in so doing create jobs in Cambridge. With our celebrity-obsessed media driven culture I think it's important to show kids a path to stardom based on hardwork and innovative thinking.

Join Leland this Labor Day, Sept 5th, at a March and Rally for worker's rights. The march begins at Cambridge City Hall at 10:30 and heads towards Harvard Square. Rally featuring guest speakers and live music begins on Cambridge Common at 11:30. Speakers include Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray and labor leader Rich Rogers. All are welcome to attend and if you would like to join Leland in the march, please just sign up below. This event is being organized by SEIU Local 615, as well as other labor unions, religious organizations, and community groups.
