Regular Meetings
We need to have them. Motion presented by Kelly.

Ideas for speakers/meetings:
Ken Spurgeon
Jeni Chinn
The Oil Museum—get 20 to 30 people. “controversy draws people”
Delia Garcia-Raj –Rep from North. With political topics we draw the poli-sci crowd.
River Fest—meeting for fireworks, repeat of ’06 gathering.
Big meeting to address constitutional items.

Other highlights from the meeting:
Kelly tried to steal a fry from Ray. He hit her. She screamed. Violence is never the answer!

“College hill names are exceptional public history like.”—Ray

Ray is violent.

Neal was late due to a Suessapallossa party; he made it up to the group by handing out Dr. Seuss cat in the hat coloring pages.

Andrea legitimately hates Ray, Ray loves Andrea. Should his wife be told?
