AGENDA:

Attendees will submit ideas for a workshop Saturday at 1pm. We take an 
hour to
sort and match similar workshop ideas. The goal is to fill 9 slots each
lasting 1/2 hour. We can use IRV if needed. We are all in 1 big room, so
everyone attends all the workshops. On Sunday we "put on paper" what comes
from Saturday.

This is a real grass-roots approach to agenda setting. Its makes this very
topical and completely organic.
Come prepared that if you suggest a topic, you should present on it, or at
least facilitate a discussion for that 1/2 an hour. We will take copious 
notes
and transfer those in to a draft Strategic Plan outline for further 
review and
edit at the next Plenary!.

The goal here is to put, in writing, what Greens think are the most 
important
steps to take for the future of our Party.

Please email me your RSVP if you haven't already at 
earthworks_works at yahoo.com
Please answer the questions above to help us organize an easy and fun 
summer
gathering.

We are very excited to see all of you in August! (25 RSVPS so far)
