Coordinating Committee observer D</font><font face="Century" size="4">orothy 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. T</font><font face="Century" size="4">wo locations met criteria for a Plenary site:</font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="1"></font> </div> <div><font face="Century" size="4"><strong>Izzak Walton Cabin, Hillcrest Park, Fullerton</strong>. Nestled in the hills, about three-quarters of a mile from train station, in Dorothy's words, this is a "Wow!" location.</font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="4"><a

Cabin can easily handle attendance of up to 60 delegates.<br>2. Available only August 28/29. Reservation hasn't yet been made to confirm this.</font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="4">3. Food service facilities available.</font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="4">4. Tables, chairs, available at extra expense, but fall within probable budget of $500-700. </font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="4">5. No enclosed breakout rooms, but as Dorothy pointed
out, outdoor porch areas, tables would lend themselves well to other meetings.</font></div> <div>6. Parking's available, is disability/wheelchair accessible, despite hilly terrain.</div> <div><font face="Century" size="1"></font> </div><font face="Century" size="4"> <div><font face="Century" size="4"><strong>Imperial Ballroom, Williams Building, Fullerton</strong>. Suggested by Fullerton Green Party member, mass transit advocate Jane Reifer, in heart of downtown Fullerton, this is an equally exciting Plenary location.<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.fullertonballroom.com/pages/about.html">www.fullertonballroom.com/pages/about.html</a><br></font><font face="Century" size="4">1.</font><font face="Century" size="4"> There're entirely suitable multiple enclosed meeting rooms, plus large ballroom option, to seat 300, if we attract a big name Saturday night speaker.</font></div> <div><font
face="Century" size="4">2. Available September 11/12, and August 28/29, without ballroom. </font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="4">3. Food service facilities available.</font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="4">4. Pricing has been negotiated to $650 for entire package. Ballroom negotiated separately.</font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="4">5. Erected in 1920s, completely retrofitted, made wheelchair accessible. Twenty restaurants, bistros, cafes, meeting places are available within a two minute walk.</font></div> <div><font face="Century" size="4"> </font><div><font face="Century" size="4"><font size="1"></font> </font></div><font face="Century" size="4"> </font><div><font face="Century" size="4">I invite critique and feedback on these choices for two reasons:</font></div><font face="Century" size="4"> </font><div><font face="Century" size="4"><font
size="1"></font> </font></div><font face="Century" size="4"> </font><div><font face="Century" size="4">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!</font></div><font face="Century" size="4"> </font><div><font face="Century" size="4">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.</font></div><font face="Century" size="4"> </font><div><font face="Century" size="4"><font size="1"></font></font> </div></div> <div>Thank you again for your continuing interest and support, and hope to hear from each of you shortly.</div> <div> </div></font>
