Democracy for Baltimore Meeting Next Thursday, May 29 at 7:30pm

Written by: Matthew Saroff on May 27, 2008 9:59 AM EDT

Linked to groups: DEMOCRACY for Baltimore

The subject of this meeting is where to go with Democracy for Baltimore, as participation has been sparse of late.

We will have a representative of the PDA (Progressive Democratic Alliance) present, to discuss a possibilities of joint activities and or meetings with them

The question up for discussion is what people might want to do with, or do for Democracy for Baltimore in the upcoming general election.

Both the 1st and the 8th district extend into parts of Baltimore County, for example, and there is a historic chance of a pickup in both districts, so the question is whether there are folks out there who still want to be a part of Democracy for Baltimore.

The meeting starts at 7:30p this Thursday, but if you get there at 7:00pm, we have a half hour to meet and greet each other, along with grabbing a bite to eat.

Location For This Thursday's Meeting

Written by: Matthew Saroff on Oct 23, 2007 4:33 PM EDT

Remember, our meeting time has changed, from the first Wednesday to the last Thursday of the month, which is this coming Thursday.

The meeting announcement did not have a location, so for this meeting, we will be at the Red Fish again, 2350 Boston Street , Baltimore, MD 21224 from 7:00pm to whenever. We will be meeting downstairs, not updtairs.

Our primary order of business is to find a better location, one that is handicap accessible, and a bit more convenient to our friends from Howard County, with good mass transit access.

Democracy for Baltimore is Changing Meeting Time

We will be meeting the last Thursday of the month, starting in October. This will better allow coordination with Howard County DFA.

 This means that it will be on October 25. You can rsvp here. 

Place is TBD, but we are looking for a place that is:

• Public transit accessable
• Handicapped accable
• To the West for better access to folks from Howard County.
  

Does anyone have a suggestion as to location? I was thinking Owings Mills, it's just off the Beltway, and the subway terminates there, but I do not have a specific site in mind.

The Meetup Has Been Canceled.

The Democracy for Baltimore monthly meeting will be Wednesday, April 5, 2006, at 7:00 PM.
Location: red fish - Modern Mediterranean Tavern & City Lounge, 2350 Boston Street Canton, Baltimore , MD 21224, (443) 524-1454. Yahoo maps http://tinyurl.com/ky77h

The Steering Committee meeting was held at Ryan's Daughter Pub on Thursday, March 30.
Called to order at 7:00 p

In Attendance: Sylvia, Matthew, Jay, Charlie Schire (visitor)

The agenda is as follows:

Unfinished business:
Tabled from last meeting:
Move to amend officer proposal approved at the January 1, 2005 by replacement. Replace "No person shall be both secretary and Facilitator" with "No person shall hold multiple positions with voting rights on the steering committee" (This has the effect of allowing someone to be only one of the following: Facilitator, Secretary, Treasurer, and the meeting representative democracy for Maryland liaison)

New Business:

1. Official group name - discussion and vote

2. Group online presence; domain name acquisition - discussion and vote

4. Baltimore City/County candidates - informational, discussion and vote on group support

5. Set Steering Committee Meeting and Group Meeting schedule - informational, discussion, vote (if necessary).

6. Learn the Tools night (Set up an evening, where we can provide instruction for Democracy for Baltimore Members on how to use DFA-Link, Yahoo Groups, etc.)

7. Request for volunteers to help organize a meeting so that a formal endorsement for the 6th congressional district. This will be a chore, because it involves Garrett, Allegany, Washington, Fredrick, Carroll, Montgomery (a sliver), Baltimore (North of Hunt Valley), and Harford County (the North half). Getting all (or as many as possible) of the DFAers in a room together will take a bit of work.

Steering committee adjourned at 7:45pm
Please post any items that you might want added to the agenda to me at msaroff@pobox.com (msaroff at pobox dot com), or add them as a comment to the blog post.
