[GPSCC-chat] SJ Pride Proposal to participate, Aug 17-18

[Drew]

I don't think we should decide based on anticipated contributions and I would like to discourage that line of reasoning.  Our whole purpose is to get the Green word out, regardless.  With the victory over Prop 8 and the fact that as a party we've ALWAYS been LGBTQ positive, we are a good match for this event, but at the same time the LGBTQ community is deeply in the Dem corner (with notable Repub exception) so this is not like going to our base.  This is outreach.  Outreach is what we are here for.  We can and will wheel and deal on cost of getting space to accomplish our outreach mission.

Green is Rainbow!

       How much money would we likely collect?


       I'm for tabling anywhere we can find volunteers to table provided 
we have some reasonable anticipation of covering most of our out of 
pocket expenses.


       Best Wishes,

Green is GO!

I want us to be there. The normal price for a nonprofit (high I realize, no need to tell me) is $400 including the tables, chairs and overhead cover (not certain about power - forgot to ask).  He said we could have a "Ground only" deal where we supply everything for $300.  He said if that was still too much we should talk to him about additional possibilities.  One way or the other I propose we work something out with him and participate.
