"Crating" a Scene to Free Hobby

Today was an exciting milestone in our efforts to FREE HOBBY!  This morning, our HOU and HC Employees took City Hall by storm as we delivered crates filled with pages upon pages that included the names of our Free Hobby petition advocates.

Local Employees made personal visits to City Council Members to deliver the crates showcasing our groundswell of support.  In total we had 33,682 supporters from Houston and across the country who voiced their support of international service from Houston's Hobby Airport.  Council Members were amazed at the vast amount of support from both the local voices and across the country. 
 
Additionally, each City Council Member received a Free Hobby shirt with signatures from our local Employees.  Below, Southwest Supporter and Houston Councilman Burks sports his Free Hobby shirt with a group of HC and HOU Employees.

A huge thank you to all who signed the petition!  You are a part of Free Hobby history and helped us make a huge impact today.  Up next in our fight is a vote by City Hall, currently scheduled for this afternoon.  Stay tuned!
