Second Meeting

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the I-4 Corridor for Change blog. Here we will post everything that goes out on the listserve, upcoming events, and anything else of use to the group. We will be linking to this blog on the I-4 page located on the Barack Obama campaign website, and vice versa.

We had a great second meeting today (I highly recommend the caramel apple pastry at Panera), though we missed a few people because of the rain. If you were one of those people, fear not!-there will be plenty of opportunities to catch up over the next few weeks. Walking for cystic fibrosis at Crane's Roost Park, a phone banking party, taste of Oviedo, and several other events.

Today we met at Panera Bread on 436 at 5 p.m. This will be our regular meeting time, unless of course we decide to change it, and I will make sure to list any info. about that here. We discussed:

I. T-shirts for the group
Allison and Rob are putting something together. Allison is looking into prices, and when we have a number we will post the exact cost of each shirt for anyone who would like to purchase one. Rob is setting up a PayPal account for the money, and when we have enough to place the order we'll send that out. It would be great to have them for our upcoming walk event. Rob and J. came up with a terrific design for our group, which we should be able to post soon for everyone to see. If anyone has any other design ideas, be sure to let us know! Thanks to everyone who helped with this.

II. Blogspot Site
We decided to set up some sort of site to organize our information and our events, so here we are. We may set up a website for the group, if we find we need one.

III. Events

- April 12 Taste of Oviedo 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Seminole Democrats will have a booth at this event, and at least two members of our group are going to be there.

-April 22 Watch Party
The community room at Galyn's apartment complex *maybe?* Pennsylvania primary night. It's time for Hillary to become a non-issue!

- To help make that happen :D come out to my apartment for a phone banking party. The date and time have yet to be determined, but it will likely be next weekend sometime.



- April 26, Saturday
Great Strides Walk-a-Thon, Crane's Roost Park
Help us raise money to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis. We're trying to get a group together to walk, so if you are interested reply with your RSVP and I will put you on a list. Basically, you just find people to sponsor you- informing those around you about cystic fibrosis- and all funds raised are donated to the charity on the day of the walk. Lunch will be provided at the event, which is very family-friendly *wink wink*

IV. Other Notes
- Galyn will be making phone calls the day before our meetings so everyone has a reminder. The next meeting is April 19th at Panera, 5 p.m. Just let Galyn know if you don't want to hear from her on Friday afternoon.

- Later today or tomorrow I will post info. about local farmer's markets, craft shows, Democratic events and anything else we might be able to join or make an appearance at.

- JoAnn will be organizing a canvassing event very soon!



Thanks to everyone for a great meeting.
