[Occupymendocino] O/M minutes 2/21/2015

[agnes at mcn.org]

Hi All,
    I am against cancelling the meeting for march 21, I am giving a more
complete report to Jim Tarbell's class and want the students to know
we will be at the Sr. Ctr.
We may gain new members from the activist group that are in the College
class. Not good if no one shows up. i plan to be there, also that's the
Roadshow night Jessie is singing in.
Love,
Agnes

> - MCN Web account is paid, but they want a contact person to be available
> to interact with.  The person does not have to be a MCN account holder.
> Dan will be the go-to man.
> - P&J Money - Zac wants ti transfer $ but who will sign?  Sheila will talk
> to Mendo/Lake Credit Union and will also speak to CalTrans about doing the
> Highway cleanup around Caspar.  They will provide bags, gloves, garbage
> pickers, and safety vests.  We need to pick a day and go out every other
> week for a few hours.  Ann will help.
> - Process -  The process for getting reimbursement for money paid out is
> to discuss it first at a meeting and get approval, not to spend money then
> go on e-mail to get approval.  No money will be paid out of treasury
> unless decision is made by a vote at a meeting.  Irene spent $221 for
> pizza and a movie for the Freedom singers, and $60 was donated by
> individuals, so O/M will cover the cost of $100 to repay Irene.  Bob's
> expenses for helping Barbara settle in Lake Co were $60 for gas, which O/M
> will cover.  If Barbara is able to repay Bob, he will reimburse Occupy.
> - Break in meetings- Sheila suggests we have a regular meeting on March
> 7th but skip the 3/21 as it is Whale Festival in Ft Bragg and people are
> busy.  We will resume regular meetings 2 times a month in April.
> - New editor of Advocate-News has already quit.  She covered MLK and
> posted good pictures, so we hope they hire another good editor soon.

>  - Discounting T-shirts and Hats- Sheila wants to cut the prices of our
> items, as Shirts are $15 ea or 2/$25 and hats $15.  Richard and Ann are

> Home Foods.  We will discuss this again in April.
> -RDC in Mendo- We have been waiting to take space in the RDC but Justin
