Subject: Invitation to participate in Spanish-Language Townhall this

Friday on H1N1 Virus

Importance: High

Friends -

We invite you to come and participate in an important White House outreach

initiative on the H1N1 virus. On Friday the White House will host a

Spanish-language town hall on the H1N1 Virus which will be open to press and

broadcast on Univision. This is part of an effort to do as much as

possible to make sure the community gets accurate information about this public

health concern, which will be important both in the remaining days of this

pandemic, as well as to maximize preparation for whatever our next public health

challenge will be.

The town hall will be here at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on Friday,

May 8, 2009 from 12:15pm-1:30pm. The panel will include

Spanish-speaking Administration representatives from involved agencies,

including the Centers for Disease Control, Department of Homeland Security,

Department of Labor and the White House. Univision's weekend anchor, Edna

Schmidt, will moderate, and Univision will air segments of the town hall on

several national news programs, reaching an estimated 13 million viewers.

As leaders in the community, we would like for you to attend and ask

questions; we are also inviting members of the general public to participate.

Please confirm your attendance to me by COB

tomorrow, Thursday, May 7th.

Call time for the event is 11:30AM and will need the regular

info (name on ID, SSN, DOB and Citizenship)

If you can help us secure other audience

members, please let me know. We want to try to engage as many people

as possible in this effort to disseminate this far and wide to our

community.

I will be in touch soon regarding more details, but we look forward to having

you be part of this discussion as we try to get this important information to

our community.
