Citizens’ Voices Minutes

March 21, 2007

Present: Tony, Mike Jeanne, Malda Ardie

First, my apologies to Tim for leaving him off the March 7 notes. Thank you to Ardie for noticing the omission.

Tony will be getting out the publicity of the upcoming events. We really need to develop a small subcommittee of individuals, no more than 3 or 4, who will keep the publicity of our group and the events we sponsor in the publics awareness. Volunteers? The group could meet at times other than the 7:30 am times. We need to publicize our events as well as the purposes of our organization. Kristi has made an attractive offer for print media.

We also discussed an appearance on KEYC morning show of Tony + one other.

Story Core must meet to get organized. Dave Boyce volunteered last time to be a part of the group. Besides David Engen, with knowledge of Story Core, & Jim Gullickson, of KMSU, Darrdi Seizmore is the resource person at the MSU Library.

We will probably get started on the Civility Project this summer.

Mark Titchie, the MN Secretary of State is pulling together a "round table"

on "civic engagement". What we are doing would fit in nicely. We need to keep being aware of his efforts.

Next meeting is on April 4th at Coffee Hag 7:30 am.
