All participants meet at the Masonic Temple between 9:00am and 10:00am, about a block off the Capitol Square at 301 Wisconsin Ave, Madison.
At the Masonic Temple participants are briefed by AFSCME Leadership and AFSCME's lobbyists on the issues that AFSCME members want to "educate" Legislators on. The briefing normally last's for one hour or less.
Participants then leave the Masonic Temple in a group for the State Capitol. Once at the State Capitol a group photo is taken by the staff of the Public Affairs Department of AFSCME Council 11 on the capitol steps leading from State St. Then all participants proceed into the State Capitol to meet with Legislators and their staff in meetings pre-scheduled by AFSCME.
Participants will attend these meetings with other AFSCME brothers and sisters that reside in the same Legislative District. When your scheduled meetings have concluded you will return to the Masonic Temple and enjoy a box lunch, discuss your visits with others in your group, share some laughs and good conversation and then complete, in a group setting, Legislative contact report forms for the AFSCME leadership and Lobbyists to utilize in the near future.
Remember, this is your day in the Capitol, make the best of it and have fun while doing it. Legislator's anticipate your arrival and in most cases are looking for you to educate them on your issues.
