Dear Gary,
The next meeting of the San
Fernando Valley Republican Club
will be on
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
at
7:00pm
at
Galpin Ford, 2nd Floor
Meeting Room
15555 Roscoe Blvd
(just east of the 405)
North Hills.
There is a $5.00 event fee,
except for first time visitors,
students and guest speakers who
may attend at no cost.
We have not scheduled a featured
speaker. This will be a
business meeting where we
discuss the policies for SFVRC
for 2009-2010. That will be
only activity for this meeting.
I know that it is election day.
Those of you working either at
the polls or poll watching or
getting out the vote may not be
able to make the meeting. The
rest of us should be able to
attend. The polls close at
8:00pm. There won't be any
results much before 10:00pm. We
will adjourn at 9:00pm and then
we can all go home, or to the
election parties and see the
results.
Just for informational purposes,
Walter Moore and Suzy Evans are
having their post-election party
at DuPars Restaurant in the
Farmers Market at Third and
Fairfax.
We have cancelled the Saturday,
March 17th meeting as too many
people have said they can't
attend.
We will begin the discussion on
March 3rd, and continue it if
necessary.
Meeting Agenda:
Prayer
Flag Salute
Open Discussion relating to
SFVRC Activities
Adjournment

Discussion on SFVRC

Discussion: What Can SFVRC Do
to Win Elections in the SFV?
Our scheduled March speaker had
a conflict so we have moved him
to April. I did not schedule
another speaker so that we could
begin our discussion about the
future of SFVRC on this evening.
We will have a discussion about
what we can do, as a club, to
make a difference in the 2010
and 2012 elections. If this
works out well, we may do this a
few times a year. I also think
it is a good idea to allow, if
we can, at least 20 - 30 minutes
each meeting in the future for
members to express their views.
If the discussion period is not
managed well, it has the
potential to dissolve into
meaningless cross-discussion.
In order for it to be effective,
we will need to manage it. We
will have a little more than one
hour to try to have a discussion
out of which will come some
useful ideas.
Here is what we have come up
with. I would prefer that those
who intend to present a proposal
about what we should do, send it
to me in advance by email.
At the meeting we will ask you
for the topic of your proposal.
We will list all the topics on
the white board. We will then
pick three topics (more if time
permits) by vote for
presentation to the group. The
member will then make his
proposal which will be followed
by an open discussion on that
proposal. Over the next few
months as proposals are
presented we will try to have
ten of the best proposals for
the group to vote on as to
whether we should undertake that
activity. Out of the ten we
will narrow the list down to
three, which we will agree to
undertake.
We will not have
cross-discussion. All questions
and comments will have to be
directed to the Chair.
I am sure we will have an
interesting discussion, and we
will continue it on to future
meetings.

Ron Nehring, Chairman of the
California Republican Party
sent the following email to
California Republicans a couple
of days ago:
Dear Gary,
Republican leaders
around the country are
networking on Twitter
and I wanted to send you
a quick note to
encourage you to join
us.
If you're not familiar
with Twitter, it's a
free, easy, innovative
tool that helps people
communicate what they're
currently doing/working
on.
Republican chairmen,
activists, members of
Congress, legislators,
and online warriors are
now directly following
each other, sharing
information and alerts
on Twitter.
You can follow me on
Twitter and sign up by
clicking here:
http://twitter.com/RonNehring
If you don't know what
Twitter is or why you
should care visit the
official
Twitter FAQ page.
You can also check out a
great online guide for
conservative
activists here: Twitter
101 guide.
You can post and read
Twitter updates through
your computer using your
web browser, your cell
phone, and your
Blackberry using its web
browser or a great
application called
Twitterberry.
I've also updated my
personal
website to integrate
with Twitter, Facebook,
Flickr and Blogger.
Taking full advantage of
new technologies is key
to our party's success.
Please join me.
Thank you for your
leadership.

SFVRC Business Roster |

Do Business with fellow
Republicans
In these tough economic times we
have decided to help each other
out economically.
We are preparing a business

of our members to patronize the
businesses of our fellow members
and Republicans. If you need
goods and services, why not have
them provided by your fellow
Republicans?
For those of you who would like
to have your business listed in
our business directory, please
send an email to:
BUSINESS@SFVRC.ORG .
Provide your name, the name and
street address of your business,
your business phone number, your
business web site address, and
your email address. Also
provide a description of the
services you provide or the type
of goods you sell.
We would like to publish this
directory no later than the end
of March, so please send in your
information. Send an email to
business@sfvrc.org with the
above information.
