A "Valley Forum"

We have tentatively set the date for what we are currently calling a "valley forum". The purpose of this forum is to reach out to the larger valley community and invite more people to participate in our group's efforts to work for change via civic engagement and political participation.

Details are still being worked out but pencil the date, Sunday, Feb 8, 2-5 PM, on your calendar.

Our goals are to:

• Invite a broader cross-section of our community


• Build relationships


• Engage in discussion on our group's objectives


• Initiate projects aligned with our goals and the community's needs/interests

During this meeting, we will break out into groups based on our SVCAN's four objectives:

• Legislative Issue Organizing


• Electoral and Grassroots Organizing


• Two-Way Communication with the White House


• Civic Engagement

We have set up three teams to do the planning for this event, they are:

• P/R and Marketing led by Chip Roberson


• Outreach (tentatively) led by Ted Sexauer


• Program and Logistics (tenatively) led by Maureen Wilson

Lilla Weinberger will remain available for overall help. If you'd like to help with any of these efforts, please contact Lilla or one of the people listed above.
