[Iswg3906.organizers] Next meeting (please reply!) + booking carshare for this weekend

[Peter Hopperton]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for initiating this Jessica. 

I'm off work at 5pm on Monday and could be available to meet at 5:30 or 6pm. If people wanted to go to Dylan's event afterwards, we could just meet in the back room at the tower, so we'll be there as things get going and can stay in the room as the event starts. But we might also get interrupted by people setting up... If others wanted to meet earlier and I just come a bit late, I could drop Jessica a key. 

A couple of things for the agenda, if we have time after structural stuff
-The folks from Elsipogtog received the cheque for the cellphone and are very grateful. They've written to me again to ask for support for their travel to Ottawa in August (they borrowed money to make the trip and want to repay it as soon as possible). We'd agreed in principle to support their travel already, so it shouldn't be too hard a decision. The documents they submitted outlining their plans should still be in the iswg email, or I can try to find it too.
-Apparently chris thunder is in jail? http://www.gofundme.com/LegalSupport4ChrisThunder
The fundraising website points out that he was arrested while travelling to Hamilton catch a ride on the bus to the social forum, a bus that we helped support. It feels pretty crummy to think that Chris has been inside this whole time and I didn't know... I was even keeping my eyes open for him in Ottawa since he said he was coming... Want to kick him down some dollars for legal?

See you soon,

-p

Hi everyone:

Hello Nikki! Hope everything is well. 

Thanks for organizing us, Jess. It is appreciated. I think you're right on in terms of meeting to get ourselves up to speed and functioning again. I can meet Monday or Tuesday but not Saturday, although on Monday there is an event with Dylan Powell happening at the Tower. I'm wondering if we could meet before that maybe? Or Tuesday is also fine for me. Looking forward to hearing about all of the ideas and getting updates from folks.

I have been following the story of the earth ship in the TRT. What an amazing project. I am more than okay with utilizing the car share to support this work. 

Thanks again for keeping us up to speed, Jess. Hope to see everyone soon.

Take care,

Tony

Hi all,
The GMM is coming up on Monday, Oct. 6th and the group needs to meet before then to put together a proposal to re-apply as a working group. I think it would be a good idea to continue our previous discussion about group structure and priorities as part of this meeting, so that we have a clearer sense for ourselves about the kind of work/project's we'd like to prioritize and what our capacities are for this. What do others think?
I've copied Niki on this message as well because we've had a chance to talk about some things together, and also have some new ideas about where we might see the group go that we are looking forward to sharing with everyone.
Because the GMM is a week from this Monday we'd like to try and meet early next week ideally so that we have time to flush out the proposal and submit it to the agenda. Please reply soon with which of the following would work for you:
this Saturday the 27th - afternoonMonday the 29th - before 8Tuesday the 30th - after 7

Also, Niki and I are looking to book the CarShare for this coming Sunday to go out to the res to visit Skyler and Tawney and help with all of the work they're doing on their earth ship project. Our plan is to book a van (from 10-6pm) so that we can also take Danielle's kid's with us for the visit. If anyone has any concerns about using CarShare feel free to let us know. If you haven't heard about the earth ship project, here's some info: http://www.tworowtimes.com/news/local/haudenosaunee-couple-prepare-to-build-earth-ship/
Hope to see you all soon,j.
