[GPSCC-chat] Minutes of November Green meeting

[Caroline Yacoub]

In case you want to reconcile this with the agenda, we moved a lot of things 
around and tabled Valerie's item because she wasn't there.

7:00 Social time and one minute speeches. 
Jim Doyle did a speech on immigration and said we need to develop a handout with 
the Green Party's stand on immigration in English and Spanish, and that we 
should distribute it, rather than just handing it to people when we are tabling. 
There is a website that will translate, and we have access to people at the 
Peace Center who can make sure it says what we want to say.

7:30  Begin meeting
     Facilitator: Tian
     Note taker: Caroline
     Time keeper: Merriam
     Vibes: Fred
     Agenda  for December: Caroline

     Introductions and announcements: Tian, Spencer, Ricardo Caballera, Jim 
Doyle, Warner, John  Thielking--peacemovies.com and stop internet piracy, 
Merriam, Caroline, Fred, Chuck Loucks.

Bank actions--Merriam    Our two previous bank actions have been very 
successful. We will have another action on November 26 on Market across from 
Christmas in the Park, from 11:00-1:00. Merriam, John, Caroline, Tian, Spencer, 
and Fred will work on it. Spencer will make a lot of new literature.

Occupy--ask Merriam

December meeting will be on the 15th, and we will party. Movie Night for 
November had good attendance and great food.. December Movie Night will be on 
the 9th and we will show "The Mouse That Roared." Tian will post these on the 
website and Peace Center calendar.

Tablers for Junior State--Tian, Caroline and John.(Jim Doyle came, also. We made 
almost $60 due in large part to letting the kids make their own buttons.) John's 
lists of non-violent movies went very well.

Holiday Peace Fair--John will help, bring his peace movie flier. Caroline will 
bring the stuff, set up, and call Drew to see if he will help. We still need 
someone to make a dessert and to work the dessert table, so, if you want to do 
that, let Caroline know (408)530-0118.

Prepare event for Jill Stein--Monday, November 28, at Fred's clubhouse. 7:00. We 
will ask Gerry to introduce her. We need a flier, and we need to get the word 
out as fast as possible, because we have so little lead time. We are bringing 
food.

Report RE Registrar of Voters--Jim Doyle--We can have names of seven candidates 
on each signature sheet. In February we will do signature gathering. We need 
candidates. People have resisted being on the council because of not wanting to 
do another meeting a month, but now we do our council meetings during the 
regular meetings and on the phone, so it should be easier to get candidates. Jim 
Doyle will put out an email to the general list asking people to be candidates.

Proposal to endorse SAFE tabled until next meeting.

Creative protests--Jim Doyle regaled us with tales of fun and successful 
protests, including someone who superglued himself to the Prime Minister.

Plenary--Tian, Merriam, and Warner will be our delegates (Jim Stauffer may as 
well). Tian will send in the names. Warner went through the agenda items to see 
if there were any items we had problems with. Warner's item was to let people 
get money before the primary. Jarod Laiti is now our __________?
Four of the at-large delegates need to be elected.

Treasurer's report--Jim Doyle--in keeping with our banking actions, we are 
moving our money to Provident Credit Union. Warner will be our second signatory. 
Merriam and Tian will sign a letter to the credit union. Jim Doyle will write 
it.
