To the Editor:

In response to John Omerod’s request in his Aug. 29 letter to the editor, the next meeting of the DeKalb County Tea Party is Sept. 15 at 9 a.m. in Sandwich at the Opera House/Town Hall located at 140 East Railroad St. We surely welcome John and everyone else in DeKalb County.

Our program will consist of two speakers: Rafael Rivadeneira, head of the Illinois chapter of the Republican National Hispanic Association, and C. Steven Tucker of the Chicago Tea Party, who will enlighten us about the Affordable Care Act. John asks for coffee and, indeed, coffee and other treats will be served.
