>As promised, finalist sites for Green Party Fall Plenary in Fullerton were vetted yesterday.  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,
