Executive Committee Meeting Report

My most profound thanks to the folks who managed to drop everything for a last-minute meeting. It was VERY productive. We made the following decisions:

VENUE: The Alamo Plaza is out. If we were on the Fiesta committe, we wouldn' allow a protest in our area. Therefore, in priority order, we are trying for (1) The IRS office on Tesoro Drive; (2) The Immigration Office at 410 & I-35; and Brackenridge Park in, like Brackenridge Park. Other ideas if we get are the Main Post Office on Perrin Beitel (???--not familiar with it myself) and asking Cornerstone Church for permission to use their parking lot.

SPEAKERS: We have decided NOT to have any sitting politicians as speakers. (My apologies to those approaching folks like Cornyn and Corte on our behalf). We are approaching some media folks. If you know of a NON-POLITICIAN speaker, please let us know!

$$$ & PATRONS: We may need support from someone with deep pockets. Eric and Jeanette will approach some possible sponsors. Eric & Robin (me) will work up using a Pay-Pal link where folks could shoot a small donation to us using a credit card. We may also need to set up a 503-C corp. Jeanette will look into that, plus a lawyer (yes, there ARE "good-guy" lawyers!) who just popped up, so I'll be pointing him to her. We also need a letterhead. We are "The San Antonio Tea Party."

SOUND SYSTEM: Both Eric and Ryan know folks with sound systems who may possibly be interested in helping. Any others?

TELECONFERENCING: Eric will get the committe set up so we can do phone meetings, What a GREAT idea!

SAFTEY: Paula and Dee know some Fierman who may be willing to be on hand for the event.

NEXT COMMITTE MEETING: 5 PM, Sunday 29 March at the same location (The Lighthouse Coffee and Cafe)

. . . and of course,I probably forgot something. If so, will one of the committee members please let me know?
