Summary of the discussion in our business meeting:

1) We welcome the Green Party of San Benito County!

2) We have no concerns regarding the Green Party of San Benito
    County allowing Greens registered in Morgan Hill and Gilroy
    to have full memberships, including full voting memberships,
    EXCEPT that we believe that noone should be allowed to vote
    in BOTH counties.  We ask the County Council of the Green
    Party of Santa Clara County to work with the Green Party of
    San Benito County to prevent duplicating voting.
