Hi all, 

    Thank you to everyone for an awesome 350 SV Team meeting

weeks before our quarterly General Meeting, so our next one will be mid 
November.

workshops 
What to add?:  Press outreach, local action, outreach 
Campaigns:  all got good scores, interest in Bay Area and state level 
actions and creating partnership like with faith groups, schools, 
etc.    
Question possible campaign to add:  Fracking – YES if we have someone 
to lead it.  Please let me know if you would like to work on this!  We 
have a Bay Area lead, Kathy Dervin that can get anyone interested up to speed 
and plugged in
