Sample Agenda
This is the agenda of the 1999 Nominating
Convention.
It will give a sense what we may cover.
The Council is charged by our by-laws
with proposing an agenda to the Convention.
Look for it to be posted by February of
2000.
The by-laws empower the Convention with
electing our officers,
nominating our candidates and amending
our Platform.
The Convention sets its own agenda.
Strategic planning discussions
and social events
are being considered for
Friday night until Sunday afternoon.
Write
with your ideas for our less formal time together.
Dorm / Bunkhouse accomodations available
for 15 or 20 people at Koinonia Farms.
Call 800/ 447-6694 to reserve your space.
Unlimited on-site camping.

The weekend meals will
be provided by volunteers.
Your help is needed across
the weekend.
If you can, bring another $10.00
to show our appreciation to Koinonia Farms
for their hospitality.
We'd like to raise a couple of hundred
dollars to offer our hosts.
The Party needs your membership and financial contributions.
Don't let poverty keep you from being with
us.
Our Conventions are open to all who are
committed to Green Values.
