Branding, Materials, Events, and Support Reports for 16 March 2025

[James Gholston]

Branding:
Nothing new at this time


Materials:
Jami has most of what she needs to start making buttons.


Events:
We are struggling with state conventions right now and I can can
presently only confirm one success out of twelve state conventions so
far. In addition to troubles finding attendees, many of these we've
discovered with short advance notice if any. For example, the Tennessee
convention rather abruptly went from 'taking bids' to already happened.

Imminent state conventions include:
* Maryland and New Jersey in under a week
* Indiana and Massachusetts in a little under two weeks
* Louisiana around the fifth of April
* Oklahoma, Washington, and Utah on the weekend of the 12th of April
* Kansas, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin on the weekend of 26 April
* Plus one or more likely blindside dates that we won't know about in
time, given this year's pattern.

Question for Susan Hogarth: Is Maryland still a go for you?
Question for Keith Thompson: Will you be able to set up a table
Question for Andrew Kennedy: Did we have any materials presence at
either New Mexico state convention?
Question for Doug Craig: Did we have any materials presence at the
Georgia convention
