inactive at the moment.
Discussion of the 10/1 rally/call out/mass meeting: Eric and Mel will
hang publicity flyers, Auden will call to confirm Julie's attendance
at the rally, Nell will set up AV and equipment needs with MCPL. Mel
will provide cookies. The rally starts at 7 PM on Tuesday, 10/1, and
all Greens were asked to help set up beginning at 6 PM.
Discussion of Farmers Market tabling: This is less of a priority than
canvassing at the moment, but it was decided that as many Greens as
possible would show up to table at the Market on Saturday, 9/28 from
8:30 to 10:30 AM. Wear your Julie and Jeff t-shirts, please, and
let's have a sea of Greens at market that morning. Nell will make
flyers to hand out at market announcing the 10/1 rally. Rebecca will
post on the announce list.
All those present approved MCGP endorsement of Max Elbaum speaking
