Group agenda and new monthly meeting schedule

At Saturday’s meeting, we reviewed the survey input we received from many of you (thank you!) and set out the agenda for the Golden Gate Objectivist club as follows:

The club will have monthly meetings, with an alternating schedule between political activism and social events. Every second month we will meet in Emeryville at 10am on Saturday where we will focus on intellectual activism. Heike will lead this effort. The first topic of focus for the club will be healthcare.

Every alternating month we will meet for a social event on Saturdays, usually in the afternoon or evening in San Francisco. Caroline will be responsible for the social agenda.

There was quite a bit of interest in a study group, but we need a volunteer to be responsible for the organization of it. If anyone would like to volunteer to head up the study group, please let us know.

Please mark your calendar with the following dates:
Saturday September 19th 10am: Meet at the Doyle St Cafe, Emeryville
Saturday October 3rd: Social trip to Napa. The plan (subject to change) is to meet at the Cordair Gallery at 11am, followed by lunch at 12pm then a visit to two wineries in the afternoon, possibly followed by dinner.
Saturday November 7th 10am: Meet at the Doyle St Cafe, Emeryville
Saturday December 5th evening: GGO holiday party in San Francisco (possibly Tres Agaves restaurant).
Saturday January 9th 10am: Meet at the Doyle St Cafe, Emeryville
Saturday February 6th: Social Event in San Francisco, tbd.

We will send out follow-up information to our e-mail list (e.g., a list of contacts for local congressmen/senators to make our voices heard on the health care debate.) If you are not on our mailing list, and want to make sure to receive all this information, please e-mail us at goldengateobjectivists[at]gmail[dot]com

We look forward to this more regular schedule, to meeting many more of you, and to contributing to the voice for Objectivist ideas in the important debates in our country.
