Old Business
Civilian Review Board - Dave put Trina Robinson in touch with Melchor de Guzman, PhD, at IUSB. As a result, the NAACP is sponsoring a presentation by Dr. de Guzman on August 18, at 6:00 p.m., at Ivy Tech State College in South Bend. Tom will video tape the presentation for GreenTV.
New Business
There was no new business.
Officer Reports
Treasurer: Lance gave the report and mentioned that he renewed our postal box rental.
Recording Secretary: Tom noted that minutes of the July meeting are on the web site. There are no additions or corrections so far.
Coordinator: Kathleen found a house and moved in. She gave us her phone number.
Delegate Reports
IGP - Dave Vollrath was absent so there was no IGP report. The IGP annual Congress is October 2-3, in LaPorte, IN. The IGP website has a link to proposals and a platform committee report.
Committee Reports
GreenTV - Tom taped presentations on the situation in Palestine by Christian Peacekeepers, Jerry and Sis Levin. He has not edited the tapes yet. Tom will video tape a symposium on Underground Railroad activity in Indiana and Michigan. The symposium is sponsored by the Northern Indiana Center for History. Liz presented ideas for a green tour of South Bend. Kathleen will help produce the first "green tour" show.
Outreach - The SJVGreens do not have a listserv. Tom has found a way to mimic a broadcast-only listserv, and he will use it to circulate email announcements of the de Guzman speech and GreenTV shows.
Closing: Kathleen Petitjean closed the meeting at 8:30 PM.
Next meeting: Our next meeting is Thursday, September 9, 7:00 PM, in the Molloy Room at the St. Joseph Co. Public Library downtown.
