[Sosfbay-discuss] [SC-SM] Fw: Venues for January Gathering

[Drew Johnson]

The concept of "Bankruptcy" does not apply to a political party.  We are
not a business. We only exist to further our party endeavors, so it makes
zero sense to sit on our money (as was advocated by some at our November
General Meeting on Wednesday Nov 5th).  An event like a plenary will
roughly pay for itself if we manage the money well and make reasonable
choices about the dates we choose and accommodations.  So absolutely YES
we should step up and (possibly working with the San Mateo Green Party)
host the January Plenary.

Green is Bold!
