From yamagata at virtual-markets.net Wed Jun 2 12:40:44 2004 From: yamagata at virtual-markets.net (G Richard Yamagata PhD) Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2004 12:40:44 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Davis Democrats] Reminder of Davis Democrat Club board meeting on Monday Message-ID: <200406021940.i52JeieH027675@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us> Greetings Davis Democrat Club list, This is a reminder that there will be a board meeting of the Davis Democrat Club at the Democratic Headquarters in Davis at 7 PM on Monday, June 7. The headquarters is in the strip mall at the corner of 5th and L St in Davis. The nearest landmarks are Pizza Guys Davis and Taqueria Davis, which is next door to the headquarters. Items that I have been asked to bring up at the next club meeting have to do with the newsletter. In that the Volume number needs to be corrected. The volume corresponds to the year and should be Volume #24, not Volume #25. Volume #23 was for the year 2003. The first volume of the newsletter came out in 1981 (Vol 1). The conversation that I had about the volume numbering 2 years ago was with past President Stephen Souza. This volume numbering can be confirmed by the web site by looking at the volume numbers of past years' newsletters that were given to me for posting at the web site. The minutes for the last meeting and the May newsletter can be found at the web site at: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/vme/democrats/newsletter.htm The specific link for the newsletter is: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/vme/democrats/pdf/DDN_MAY_.PDF The specific link for the April minutes is: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/vme/democrats/min0404.htm The other items, that I was asked by club members that read the newsletter, have to do with newsletter advertising and listing of donors and sponsors. These have more to do with the editorial board, not the editor. My mentioning them is that there are club members that are upset at not being listed or mentioned in the last newsletter, people that paid extra money to be listed or noted or acknowledged by the club and were not.

Tony Gruska has the master list and is coordinating things. No one has contacted me so far about this list. Please contact Tony at rjgruska at pacbell.net as to what you are bringing or if you need a suggestion as to what to bring, so that we do not end up with eleven people bringing, as an example, strawberries.

She requested that I send the e-mail to the list and those that were concerned about attribution in the newsletter. See you all on Sunday! Richard ============================= Dan Kehew generously listed me as "assistant editor" but in fact I did no editing at all and did not see the newsletter (or the honorary title of "assistant editor") before I received it. (I would have vetoed that title.) Here's what I did for Dan: 1. I emailed him the old newsletter ads, and sidebars (with all the new donor names typed in by me), and headings, all in a previous-newsletter format, but it was in the latest version of Corel Draw and it turns out he couldn't read them. 2. I typed up the article from Tina Lax that Barbara Slemmons delivered to me, and emailed that to Dan. 3. I emailed the article by Pam Nieberg, which Joyce Wilson had requested we print, and which was approved at the last DDC meeting. First I shortened it, with the author's approval of the shortened version (for the most part - she would have preferred to keep in a line about citizen turnout at the Board of Sups). Here are the misunderstandings. 1. I expected Pam's article to be an opinion/info piece, not a front page article, particularly since the last line states what the Sierra Club requests and the author is identified as from Sierra Club. However, I did not communicate this expectation to Dan. 2. I only vaguely recall talking to Dan about advertisements, so I might not have. I think I told him that the ads that would be arriving in the email (which he couldn't read) should be checked with Bob Bockwinkel. I thought I made my usual comment (almost gripe) that ads would be easier to format into the newsletter if they weren't sized like business cards. 3. No one spoke to Dan about the sidebars, with donor names, as far as I know. I just expected he'd use all the newsletter pieces I emailed him (that it turns out he couldn't read). And the good stuff: I'd like to congratulate Dan on a professional-looking, highly readable, and very quickly delivered newsletter. It's easy to find the important announcements. Now that Dan knows that people want the donors lists and the ads, the future newsletters should please and serve everyone. I'm really glad to lose the job of gopher-for-my-daughter-the-editor and yet know that the newsletter remains in good (different) hands.

My bottom line was producing something more than a simple flyer, but getting across the important information (particularly regarding Kerry Campaign donations) and the date/contact info for early June events. It needed to look good enough to be used by Beat Bush 2004 tabling efforts. It needed to be in mailboxes in May. The June issue is already in progress. It will be bigger, including the ads and donor info that were sacrificed for both speed and space in May. The June News will focus on Mike Machado's campaign, the Air America radio network and its new Sacramento affiliate, and other sources of progressive "fuel" that proud liberals can reference when they need to stoke the fire. We'll improve the graphic content. And I promise to use entirely correct phone numbers (sorry Betty!). If something stands out to you in the newsletter, good or bad, let me know. Anything sent to the HQ will get to me. My phone number and email address are in each issue. Thanks in advance! -- Dan K.

After July 25th, we will be fundraising for the general DNC account, there has been an account set up now for those of you who have maxed out ($2000), Kerry Victory 2004 that you can write checks to.

The list is just for the Davis Democrat club to announce the board meetings and club activities and posts from the executive board. That is the beginning and end of the purpose of that mailing list. I received e-mail from Kevin Wolf. He wants just one e-mail list to come out from the headquarters. That is fine and good, but there is a difference between the Democrat Club e-mail list and the Beat Bush organization and e-mail list. The club web site will not post any of the events that are happening at the headquarters, but will and has established links to the headquarters web site and the web site calendar. The club must continue to support its own infrastructure or it will be in shambles after the November election. I will not support nor be a party to an organization that continues after the election that is maintained, separate from the Davis Democrat Club. As President and Newsletter editor and members of the board, it is your responsibility as it is mine and every member of the board to support the Davis Democrat Club and ensure its longevity. That is why we were elected and that is what we were entrusted with as officers of this local Democrat club, a trust that has continued from 1950, when the organization was founded. As such I thank Bob Bockwinkel, Stephen Souza, Adrienne Kandell, Joyce Wilson and others for their continued support of the Davis Democrat Club.

I am not sure if everyone is aware of this, but the California Democrat organization is encouraging that all clubs meet on the second Tuesday of the month. This was the original date that we were meeting before the change to the first Monday. I think that we will continue to meet on the first Monday in case that our past president can make the meetings.

There is a barbeque buffet. This event is a substitute event for the yearly club and central committee gathering to watch the River Cats.

A new event is a Fundraiser tri-tip barbeque on July 17, at 5:30 PM at the Elks Lodge at 300 Bush Street in Woodland. This event is in support of the Yolo County Veterans organization that is trying to raise money to purchase a new van. The van will be used to shuttle veterans to and from their medical and other appointments. This event is supported by Democrat and county supervisor Frank Seiferman Jr., who informed me and kindly sent information for this event. Please join Jerry Kaneko, Teresa, myself and others that are attending in support of the veterans that live in Yolo County. I am told that the Davis Chapter of the Odd Fellows donated $500 and that the price of tickets has subsequently dropped in price. The food is plentiful and excellent and I encourage all to attend that enjoy a good tri-tip dinner. Please contact Democrat and Davis city council member Ted Puntillo for tickets and other event details. Lastly, the California Democrat Party is encouraging all to go out on Friday to view Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11.

In-Reply-To: <200406240701.i5O71fd0001529@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us> Message-ID: <200406241256.i5OCuAd0017466@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us> Folks- I've stayed out of a lot of the back and forth. I'm surprised that the Davis Democratic Club web site will be focused on supporting "its own infrastructure" between now and November. We have a unified effort with the Club, the Central Committee and the HQ. The leaders of each need to sit down and work it out, but no one should have their own infrastructure. I've had lots of calls about personality concerns, but no one has offered what I would consider an issue that can stop us from going forward. I've worked on a lot of campaigns with strong personalities, but we've always been able to get past it and focus on mission #1. The only mission of Democratic organizations in this county should be electing John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Mike Thompson, Mike Machado and Lois Wolk. (and, if we endorse, good Dems in West Sacramento muni races) I would suggest that anyone that doesn't have that as their top priority and is willing to get past personality conflicts needs to step aside for a year. This includes elected and appointed offices within the club and the central committee. The only permanent Democratic organization in the county is the Central Committee, which has exercised very little demands and oversight over the clubs for which it grants charters (and regularly waives its required club chartering fees). I am but one vote, and I can't ensure that the committee will continue to abstain from involvement if the petty crap continues.
