Coordinating Committee observer Dorothy Kemeny from Long Beach was on this tour. Coordinating Committee member, OC Councilmember designate Matt Leslie, while aware of this meeting, chose not to join us. Two locations met criteria for a Plenary site: > >Izzak Walton Cabin, Hillcrest Park, Fullerton. Nestled in the hills, about three-quarters of a mile from train station, in Dorothy's words, this is a "Wow!" location. >www.ci.fullerton.ca.us/depts/parks_n_recreation/find_a_park/hillcrest.asp >http://www.ci.fullerton.ca.us/depts/parks_n_recreation/find_a_park/hillcrest.asp> >1. Cabin can easily handle attendance of up to 60 delegates. >2. Available only August 28/29. Reservation hasn't yet been made to confirm this. >3. Food service facilities available. >4. Tables, chairs, available at extra expense, but fall within probable budget of $500-700. >5. No enclosed breakout rooms, but as Dorothy pointed out, outdoor porch areas, tables would lend themselves well to other meetings. >6. Parking's available, is disability/wheelchair accessible, despite hilly terrain. > Imperial Ballroom, Williams Building, Fullerton. Suggested by Fullerton Green Party member, mass transit advocate Jane Reifer, in heart of downtown Fullerton, this is an equally exciting Plenary location.www.fullertonballroom.com/pages/about.html >1.There're entirely suitable multiple enclosed meeting rooms, plus large ballroom option, to seat 300, if we attract a big name Saturday night speaker. >2. Available September 11/12, and August 28/29, without ballroom. >3. Food service facilities available. >4. Pricing has been negotiated to $650 for entire package. Ballroom negotiated separately. >5. Erected in 1920s, completely retrofitted, made wheelchair accessible. Twenty restaurants, bistros, cafes, meeting places are available within a two minute walk. > >I invite critique and feedback on these choices for two reasons: > >1. With such small numbers on OC Green Council and at Coordinating Committee level, it's important to have maximum participation. To have one or two people make final choice doesn't sit well for a political party which exhorts grassroots decision-making! >2. On possibility a two member County Council's divided--one for one location, one for another--it'd be particularly helpful to have a sense from each Coordinating Committee member to move us toward consensus. > >Thank you again for your continuing interest and support, and hope to hear from each of you shortly. > >Best, > >Sandy Stiassni >Councilmember >OC Greens > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Let's show the MMWD Board members the huge support that our initiative has by having meeting room packed on Wednesday July 7th. See the Marin IJ ad in this Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday's IJ titled "18,000 people have spoken. Will MMWD listen?" The ad calls on the MMWD board to side with the voters and not Board member David Behar. At this point, it seems the MMWD board is not unified on what to do. This is unusual, and all the more reason to have a big showing Wednesday July 7th!

This story is about the maritime industry from 1835 until the burning of the blue book in 1934. Also labor historian Larry Shoup will talk about the history of the 1901 transportation workers strike which included the Teamsters and was smashed by the San Francisco police. This strike in part led to the formation of the San Francisco Union Labor Party which in 1905 swept the election and took control of the city.
