Meeting Minutes

Present:  David, Nancy, guest Emma
Next meeting:  19-Jun-2013 (Wednesday) 7:00 pm (9:00 pm ON)
  • Nancy agreed to take minutes.
  • Correspondence with NDP Electoral Reform Tour Melanie Chartrand gives dates of Sept 7-12 (coincides with an NDP Saskatoon caucus strategy session).  In reply we asked how we can support their outreach team and proposed adding Prince Albert and Moose Jaw to tour our four biggest cities.
  • Membership drive has added some new members.  We emailed our contact list with no known new memberships.
  • Nancy is part of the FVC's Secondary School project.  The project will create teacher resource materials and identify where the materials match curriculum.
  • June 1 is the beginning of the FVC Video Contest.  Nancy has an entry and asks for support for the popular vote.  She will email the link when it is available.
  • Rick and Nancy are planning to have a table at the Prince Albert Street Fair on June 15 to offer the petition and raise awareness.
  • Executive members are encouraged to look for synchronicity for our blog, political events, and letters to the editor.  Tabled to next meeting.
  • Nancy offered her resignation for failing to use BCC for initial contact list email.  Discussed reactions, only one person of 200 replied saying it was upsetting but did not asked to be removed.  Another lengthy email wrote "I strongly believe that an ‘open’ list is the preferred method for voluntary organisations."  Resignation rejected.
  • Guest Emma Wilson is willing to be responsible for our Blog.  Tabled to next meeting.
  • Email Member/Contact list policy and updating. Tabled to next meeting.
