Minutes from Monday 11.26.12

Thanks to Kathryn for taking notes!
GA this Saturday 4 pm at Pritchard Park.  January we will go back to 3 pm as it gets dark earlier now.
We reviewed the Occucard handout at the Holiday Parade and the demonstration at Walmart on Black Friday.  Only 2 people came to the parade and 7 came to Walmart.  There are lots of Occucards left and we need to decide where to keep them.  They are with Kasha and James for the moment.  We talked about doing things in "receptive" environments and being more proactive rather than negatively reactive.  Later this led to a discussion about focusing on foreclosures for the coming year.  There was considerable support for this and Kathryn and Bev offered to gather more information.  This will be discussed more at the GA.
Lindsey reported that the invitation and money order has been sent to Ben Scales for the potluck at Rosetta's on Jan 20 at 5:30 pm.  (Ben sent a note of appreciation.)  James suggested that we bring Michael Hardt from Duke to speak about his ideas about the Commons to this event and we agreed.  LIndsey also reported that there is about $900 in the treasury and we will not get back at least one of the $100 bail bonds as the person did not show up for his hearing.
Friday, November 30 2 pm there will be another of the monthly parades from Pritchard Park to City Hall in support of decriminalizing homelessness.
James has selected four "vision" statements he would like to propose and asks that others review the list on the blog and website and come prepared with ideas.  He will be happy to craft it into a statement.
Susan wanted us to know that there are now so many pictures on the blog she will pay a small fee to maintain the site with plenty of room for photos.
