DECEMBER MEETING
There has been some talk of paring down the Davis Democrat Club board.  From
the list of people that I have that have been expending their energies on
2004 campaign activities, the people that have been showing up to the board
meetings match those that are extremely active in the community -- about 20
people.  The average attendance of a board meeting has been 20 people with 2
additional guests per meeting for a total of 22 people.  We currently have
26 Board member and there is talk of adding at least one more member.  This
agenda item will need to be discussed and should be done in December, when
we have the Blanchard room reserved.  Betty Weir insisted that we need to
contact Rick Vulliet before we remove him from the DDC Board.  If anyone
knows his e-mail address or can contact him here in Davis or at his
residence in Hawaii, please contact him and let him know that we will be
discussing removing him from the DDC board in December.  There were no other
objections to the other two inactive names that will be removed in December.
The DDC bylaws state that a person that misses 3 meeting in a row will be
removed from the board.  The people that were identified by Betty have not
attended a board meeting in at least 3 years.  There will be talk of paring
down the board to a number where we can meet in the homes of board members.
All of this is for the December meeting.
