[GPSCC-chat] Tabling possibility: May 18-19, Boogie on the Bayou, Campbell

[Valerie D. Face]

Hi everyone,

Here's the reply to my questions from Dave Perry, CEO of the Campbell Chamber of Commerce:

"As far as the area goes, it is just an area to stand... and yes you can hand out flyers while others are talking... they just must be handed out within the free speech area... if any of your groups are planning on attending you can refer them to me - I will get them signed up and put into an orderly fashion for speaking time.  Let me know if you have any other questions."

So my impression is that we can stand in the Free Speech Area and hand out flyers all day, but if we want speaking time we need to take turns with any other groups that are there and limit ourselves to two hours at a time.

Dave's phone number is 408-378-6252, or you can send him an email at info at campbellchamber.net.

Best wishes,
Valerie

Hi folks,

Campbell's Boogie on the Bayou happens Saturday-Sunday, May 18-19, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Saturday / 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Sunday.  They will have a Free Speech Area.  The short document with the regulations for using it was *just* too big for this list, so I've pasted the regulations below (email me if you want the document itself):

Designated Free Speech Area Regulations

  *  All announcements must be made within this designated area
  *  All materials must be distributed within this designated area
  *  No soliciting outside of Free Speech Area will be allowed
  *  This area is to be shared equally among all groups
  *  Please be courteous and share time and space with other groups
  *  Please keep your announcements to a two (2) hour time limit
  *  You may get back into rotation after your initial 2 hour limit

Thank you for your cooperation.
Campbell Chamber of Commerce


I have sent them a couple of clarifying questions:

1)  Is it just a place to stand, or can someone bring a small table and/or chair?

2)  If someone from one organization is speaking for two hours, can the other organizations still be in the area handing out flyers quietly or having quiet conversations with people who stop by (but not interrupting the speaker)?

They have not settled on the location of the Free Speech Area yet, but they will send me a map when it's finalized.

They have Business Row booths available, but they're $700 for Chamber of Commerce members / $1300 for non-members.  That gets you a 10' x 10' space, but it's just for passing out info -- no selling.  Let me know if you'd like a copy of that application.

I might be available for an early Sunday shift for this event, but if we want to have someone speaking on our behalf for a couple of hours I'm not a good choice (simple one-on-one conversations are more my style).

When I get more information (answers to my questions and/or the map) I'll let this list know.

Best wishes,
Valerie
