Update On Last Meeting

[Las Vegas Action Corps]

Hello All!

Hope this email finds you well and ready for the upcoming week. I am
writing to send you an update on our last meeting, which was held at
Espee's Gourmet Tamales! Many of you were busy and couldn't make it
to the meeting, so to keep you all in the loop, here is what was
discussed:

I. Potential meeting with Senator Reid- Senator Reid's staffers
contacted the LV OAC and invited us to meet with the Senator on Monday
September 29th to discuss our mission and our goals for the year.
However, the meeting was put on hold due to the financial crisis. We
will hopefully meet with him this month. If you are interested in
coming, we'll see if we can squeeze you in.

II. Sisters on the Planet Screening- We have the funding for the
screening, but we need some motivated individuals who want to put in
some extra hours to organize this event. We have a few peeps who are
volunteering. Gabby will be calling some libraries in LV for potential
screenings, and Louie & Ruthie will be looking at UNLV and local
theaters. Tonopah has contacted NPR to see if they would announce the
event. Also, we thought of having our next meeting at a member's home
to watch the film before actually doing the BIG screening. This will
give us time to discuss the documentary and digest our thoughts.
(Please email us if you would like to help in organizing)

III. Adaptation 101: During the meeting we decided to review the
Adaptation 101 packet. We discussed and shared our thoughts about the
literature. It was great reviewing the packet to refresh our
memories. If you have time, I encourage you all to take a few minutes
and reread the Adaptation 101 packet. It really gives you some
perspective!

IV. Hunger Banquet: Will be discussed at the next meeting.

NEXT MEETING: OCTOBER 29TH, 2008 @ 6:30 pm---- LOCATION- TBA

Thank you all and thank you Gabby and Renee for your presence at the
meeting!

We'll see you all on the 29th of this month.

Best,

Lauren and Angelica
