Going to the SAG meeting tonight? Get there early

Dear Screen Actors Guild Member,

We know many of you plan to attend the informational Town Hall meeting at Harmony Gold Theater tomorrow at 7 pm. While we tried to secure a larger  venue, seasonal parties, award consideration screenings, and our policy to use only union facilities, limited our options.

We will admit the first 450 members who have paid up SAG membership cards to the Town Hall. We are currently looking for an appropriate venue so that we can hold another Town Hall for Hollywood SAG members very soon.

We appreciate your interest in your union and will continue to work around the clock to plan an additional Town Hall in the near future.

Thank you.
