Agenda includes:
2002 election evaluation
Determination of open seats for upcoming special elections (we expect
that some officeholders will be elected to other offices, thus
vacating their seats and necessitating special elections)
Consideration of nominating mechanics for open seats
Discussion of elections 2003 (West Bloomfield Twp. Trustee elections,
for example)
Discussion of 2004 elections (No Gov. or U.S. Senate seats up - so
the top of the ticket races will be Congressional seats) Every State
Rep. seat will also be up for election, and Oakland County races like
County Exec., Sheriff, Prosecutor, Drain Commissioner, Clerk,
Treasurer.
We will discuss consolidation of Oakland County locals, and continued
outreach.
We hope that members of WOWGreens, Greenhouse Outreach Greens, Metro
Detroit Greens and Oakland University Greens all will attend.
We also will set a schedule of meetings dates for the next twelve
months, with locations held at different places in the County.
The December meeting and all following are up for grabs for hosting
people and locations.
An expanded or modified yahoogroups listserv will also be discussed.
I apologize in advance for doing some of this on my own without
consensus on everything (especially the date place of the meeting).
Several of the issues above have already been the subject of
discussion among WOWGreens at our last meeting at Marilyn Morgan's
house.
We would appreciate RSVP's but it is not required.
Feel free to call me at 248-866-0864.
The room is already reserved and paid for, so this is a go for sure.
How much we accomplish depends on who shows up, and what we want to
do.
