Homeownership and Lending Workshop, City Council Chambers

Are you facing foreclosure or struggling to make your mortgage payment due to an adjustable rate mortgage? Join Congressman Artur Davis and a panel of lending experts for a valuable discussion on homeownership — including information on how to purchase a new home or keep the one you have. Attendees will hear about programs designed to help those having trouble making mortgage payments avoid foreclosure. Housing professionals will be on-site to offer free assistance. The workshop will take place in the City Council Chambers located in Birmingham City Hall, 710 20th St. North, downtown.

For more information on this event, contact Sissy Hembree in the congressman’s Birmingham office at 205-254-1960. Panelists will represent the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, HOPE NOW Alliance, Neighborhood Housing Services and New South Federal Savings Bank.

OTM Democratics Healthcare Forum, Birmingham Botanical Gardens

You’re not going to find a better panel than this one to talk about this important issue:

  • Congressman Artur Davis, 7th District, Alabama
  • Terry Kellogg, Executive Vice President & CFO, Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Alabama
  • Dr. Max Michael, Dean of the UAB School of Public Health
  • Dr. Wally Retan, practicing physician and state coordinator of Healthcare For Everyone, the Alabama Chapter of Physicians for a National Health Program

The OTM Democrats are inviting you to join them for a lively exchange on the current problems in our nation’s healthcare system and the various solutions being proposed to address them. They hope to

explore the disparity in access to healthcare in the U.S., HR676 (the bill before Congress to create a single payer healthcare system), the positions of the leading presidential candidates, and whether there is enough momentum and support in Congress, industry, and from citizens themselves to bring about meaningful reform.
