[Sosfbay-discuss] Proposal to move future General Meetings to 3rd Thursda...

[JamBoi]

I interpret the results so far for the Third Thursday to be the best. 
Fred had MVPP *sometimes* conflicting and Gerry has the (not required,
but Gerry desires to attend sometimes) Sunnyvale Bicycle & Ped.
Commission conflicting.  If Gerry or others want to go into a more
complex process of including a larger array of dates I'll leave that to
them to propose, but so far IMO it looks very good for the 3rd
Thursday.

Thank you Cameron for providing the background info on moving from the
Indian restaraunt.  I think holding it there occaisionally would still
be a good idea.

I think the idea of holding meetings at progressive churches is
excellent.  One thing hopefully someone here can inform us about though
that came up when I talked to the very same aforementioned First United
Methodist Church of Campbell is the need for event liability insurance.
 They don't provide it and expected us to provide it.  Does the state
party cover us on this or do we need to make some sort of arrangements
of our own?

Organize, Energize, Coalize!
