Dear Santa Clara County Greens

The GPCA CC is talking about having the June GPCA General Assembly in 
San Jose during the time of the US Social Forum next year (June 24-27, 
2015), like the GPUS did in 2010 when it held its Annual Nat'l Meeting 
in Detroit during the U.S. Social Forum there that year (Warner was there)

The idea would be that we'd take care of some internal business at the 
GA like the GPCA FY 2015-2016 budget and breakout sessions for our 
committees and working groups, but otherwise have Greens be in town to 
attend the Social Forum events/workshops, and maybe even put on some of 
our own there about independent/alternative party organizing.

For the GA, we would probably want a venue for the budget on Saturday, 
but otherwise possibly direct our members to various workshops at the 
Social Forum.  Still to be determined how we'd break it down for meeting 
times.

What are your thoughts on this possibility?

Mike
