Warden Message: Final Reminder to VOTE!

American citizens should vote now in the November 4, 2008 presidential and general elections.  If you registered to vote and requested an absentee ballot by your state's deadline, you should have already received your state absentee ballot.  Please return your marked ballot now!

Ballot hasn't arrived?

If your ballot has not arrived, use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB).  The FWAB serves as an emergency ballot for voters who registered in time but fail to receive an official ballot from local election officials.  The FWAB is available at www.fvap.gov or from any U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

If your regular state ballot arrives after you have mailed the FWAB, complete and mail the state ballot as well.

Returning your ballot

Voted ballots and FWABs may be mailed to your local voting officials in the United States through first-class international mail or from any U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  Last-minute voters should consider using an express courier company to deliver their ballots.  A few states also accept completed ballots by fax or e-mail.

Returning your ballot

Voted ballots, FPCAs and FWABs may be mailed to your local voting officials in the United States through first-class international mail or from any U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  Last-minute voters should consider using an express courier company to deliver their ballots.  Some states also accept FPCAs and voted ballots by fax or e-mail.

Questions?

The Voting Assistance Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Prague is also always available to answer questions about absentee voting.  To contact the Voting Assistance Officer, call 257-022-023 or send an e-mail to VotePrague@state.gov.

AARO - 3rd Thursday - October 16th

Dear AARO Members,
October 3rd Thursday returns to Braunuv Sklep on Karlovo namesti (directions below) and sees the launch of a new format which, if popular, will set the scene for future monthly gatherings.
This month we start with the usual social a little earlier at 5:30pm (allowing you to take advantage of the daily menu specials available until 6pm). Then at 7:30pm we move into the salon for a movie showing from DVD. Over the coming months we will be featuring a selection of movies nominated for this year's European Film Awards, by special arrangement with Mr. Norbert Auerbach, AARO Vice-President,  Founder Member and Member of the European Film Academy.
October's offering is Lemon Tree, an Israeli / German / French coproduction directed by Eran Riklis, which is based on the true story of a Palestinian woman whose lemon grove lies on the Israeli / West Bank border. The Israeli Defence Minister becomes her new neighbor and insists that the lemon grove be torn down for security reasons. This is the story of her fight to save her lemon grove.
Winner of the 2008 Audience Award at the Berlinale Film Festival, this is a moving, beautifully made film accessible to a wide audience.
Official site: www.lemontreemovie.com/lemontree_en.html
Space will be limited for the movie, so please be punctual. Rsvp is appreciated but not mandatory.
Guests are welcome for the social, also the movie if space allows.
There is no charge for the movie, but drinks and food are pay your own. Drinks may be ordered during the movie.
