[GPSCC-chat] GPSCC mtg Dec. 18

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Sanda and Sandy:  


SANDA:  I’m glad you’ll be able to make it Thursday.  Earlier today, I invited Steve Chessin, President of Californians for Electoral Reform (CfER) to talk with us 7 - 7:30 PM about planning to advance instant runoff voting (IRV) in Santa Clara County next year.  The regular business meeting is scheduled to start at 7:30.  Sandy Perry volunteered last month to produce a draft agenda.  With this email, he should know that you are planning to attend and should give that appropriate consideration in the agenda.  


SANDY:  In preparing the agenda for Thursday, you may wish to review Sanda’s comments below.  


	  Thanks, 
	  Spencer

>>             2.  Check the availability and cost of motel space.
> Possibly, but in the days of places like hotels.com <http://hotels.com/>, that can supplement. More importantly will be finding home stays.

>>             3.  The State Coordinating Committee has a dinner the night before that must be arranged.
> Since many of us will want to attend the social forum, it would be nice to have suggestions of places nearby...as in walking distance, but you don't have to plan it.

>> Hello, All:
>> 
>> 
>> QUESTIONS:
>> 
>> 
>>       1.  Who is working on the CA Green General Assemblies for 
>> Monterey Jan. 23-25 or San José June 27-28 or the US Social Forum, San 
>> José, June 24-27?  Especially the latter seems like a great opportunity 
>> to help advance all kinds of social agendas.
>> 
>> 
>>       2.  Could we extend a special invitation to all who might be 
>> interested in helping plan these events to come to the next meeting of 
>> the Green Party of Santa Clara County, Dec. 18?  I plan to try to 
>> recruit non-Greens who are working on the US Social Forum to come and 
>> speak with us at 7 PM.
>> 
>> 
>> AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING OF THE GREEN PARTY OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY, 
>> DEC. 18:
>> 
>> 
>>       Please send this list your requests for agenda time for our 
>> meeting next Thursday, Dec. 18.  The notes from Nov. 20 say that Sandy 
>> Perry agreed to prepare the agenda.
>> 
>> 
>>       The two agenda items mentioned above could take the entire 
>> meeting, I think:
>> 
>> 
>>             (1) The next CA Green General Assembly in Monterey, Jan. 
>> 23-25.  We need to select delegates.  Brian Good and Caroline Yacoub 
>> have already indicated plans to go.
>> 
>> 
>>             (2) The US Social Forum, next June 24-27, and the companion 
>> CA Green Party General Assembly June 27-28(?):  The state has asked the 
>> Santa Clara Greens to host this event.  We've officially agreed to help 
>> organize it, but have stated that we don't have enough committed 
>> volunteers to do all the work;  we'll need help from people in other 
>> counties.
>> 
>> 
>>      See you next Thursday, Dec. 18, at 7 PM.
