[Sosfbay-discuss] Green Party County Council Meeting this Sunday Feb 25th 3-6:30p @ Jim Doyle's house

[JamBoi]

This Sunday, Feb 25th, from 3:30 to 6 pm at Jim Doyle's house there
will be a Green Party of Santa Clara County, County Council Meeting
which all are free to join and observe.  Here's Jim Doyle's address:

For any who don't know, the County Council is the Green Party
equivalent of the 'Central Committee' and the County County (CC) is
legally responsible for carrying on the business of the Party in this
county.  Current members are Jim Doyle, Gerry Gras and myself, Drew
Johnson.  We are specifically looking to bring the CC up to its full 7
member strength as rapidly as is managable and are looking for input
and nominations especially for females and people of color as right now
we have only us 3 white males. :-)  

These items are not necessarily in the final order we'll tackle them
in.  If you have additional items or proposals for consideration please
send them to the sosfbay-discuss at cagreens.org e-mail list ASAP.

Organize, Energize, Coalize!

Drew

Here's what we've got so far:

+ Bylaws Review
