<blockquote type="cite">Greetings
all,
<br>
Here is some inforomation that the discussion group did not
receive.
<br>
<br>
There is an enthusiastic volunteer who first contacted Valerie.
<br>
Then I exchanged a few emails with her. The bottom line is she
intends to
<br>
attend the Thursday night's meeting, also tonight. Furthermore
she wants
<br>
to do tabling both Saturday and Sunday and more.
<br>
<br>
As such tabling plans whoud be a part of the agenda:
<br>
Farmers' Markets Saturday and Sunday October 27 & 28
<br>
Junior State Saturday November 17-th
<br>
Holiday Peace Fair Saturday December 1-st
<br>
<br>
As to the Holiday Peace Fair, I have sent in the application fee
for a table.
<br>
<br>
Also, here is a reminder of our responsibilities for and at the
Holiday Peace Fair:
<br>
<br>
We have signed up for a table at the Holiday Peace Fair,
<br>
Saturday 1-st. Tablers and set up people needed.
<br>
<br>
Perhaps the most unique aspect of the Fair is that it is virtually
<br>
impossible for an organization not to make money!
<br>
<br>
Participating groups get an allotment of Holiday Peace Fair
tickets.
<br>
The usual number is 20 for each 1/2 table and 40 for each full
table
<br>
space, but you may have more (or less).
<br>
<br>
Your organization keeps the proceeds from its own ticket
<br>
distribution/donations and may request more than the initial
supply.
<br>
You may also distribute tickets for less than the stated $2.
<br>
<br>
Flyers advertising the Fair will be provided (printed and
electronically)
<br>
to distribute to your group and in your communities.
<br>
<br>
IMPORTANT: Each group is required to donate at least one item for
sale
<br>
at the dessert table (chocolate items and pies of any kind are
very popular).
<br>
<br>
The Fair will be open to the public from 11 AM to 4 PM. We will
have one-two
<br>
hours to clean up after the 4 PM closing. Please find one or more
volunteer(s)
<br>
from your group to help with general set-up (8 AM Saturday) and
with general
<br>
clean-up as well as people to set-up (from 9-11 AM Saturday) and
clear your
<br>
own table(s).
<br>
<br>
A full table space will cost your organization $40. [paid

Presenter: John Thielking <br>
Background:
<br>
Right now the San Jose Peace & Justice
Center's calendar lists our <br>
November meeting
for Thursday 11/22 (Thanksgiving) and our <br>
December meeting for Thursday 12/27 (two days after Christmas).
Should we move those up a week (or to some other <br>
date that's agreeable to most who will attend)? Last year we made
<br>
a decision in the summer to reserve the SJP&JC
for the 3rd <br>
Thursdays of November and December
even <br>
though we weren't sure we would have
meetings both months (with <br>
the idea that it's
easier to cancel a time slot we're not going to <br>
use than to scramble at the last minute for a different date or <br>
venue). That seemed to work well. It turned out <br>
that we used both time slots. FYI, right now the SJP&JC's
calendar <br>
lists nothing for Thursday 12/20.
For Thursday 11/15 there's an <br>
event at San
Jose <br>
City College and an event ("Close
Encounters in the Middle East") <br>
with a
request for information and no location. <br>

Spencer proposes that the Green Party of Santa Clara County
<br>
officially file a legal request to unobtrusively attend and
record
<br>
deposition(s) of Salma and David Merritt by attorneys
representing
<br>
financial institutions.
<br>

<br>
the latter is a sworn statement by Porter Eugene Johnson,
who had
<br>
never met the Merritts prior to the earlier deposition and
<br>
describes the
<br>
behavior of Goldberg essentially as I did above).
<br>
<br>
8:50
<br>
Spencer's proposal that the Green Party start immediately
<br>
after this election to build a coalition with other minor
parties to
<br>
develop a common slate of candidates to support in the 2014
<br>
elections,
<br>
focusing especially on minor offices like school boards,
etc.: I'd like
<br>
to see the Greens and Peace and Freedom parties field at
most only
<br>
one
<br>
candidate in any given race affected by the "Top Two" rule.
We might
<br>
call it something like the "Green Peace Coalition". If we
don't have
<br>
time this Thursday, I'd like to see us discuss it November
22.
