Meeting 9/6/11

All,

Well we had another great turnout for our second meeting of the semester.  I know I speak for the entire Exec Board when I say thank you!

This meeting was very productive.  We added a new member to the Exec Board: Tom Overton who will be serving as Freshman Representative to the Exec Board.  We would like to thank all the members who ran for that office and congratulate Robin Lovett and Abel Tahirkheli in becoming their respective dorm hall representatives.

We also spoke more about the caucuses and shared a events quota that needs to be met with the hope that each caucus will have some issue-specific suggestions for filling those quotas.  We will all discuss and vote on which events we will put on the calendar this year so bring your best ideas!

We also announced a new social event for next Monday, Sept. 12.  The College Dems will be headed to listen to Jay Jonas speak at the Issues Committee sponsored event and then head down to Mellow Mushroom for dinner afterward.  We hope to see you there!

Bill Owen also gave a great talk about his vision for the future of Knoxville.  Check out our facebook page for links to his campaign and volunteer opportunities.

Hope to see you Monday, and be sure to check out our calendar of events on the menu above for more information about upcoming events.  Also, be sure to join the facebook group at: http://www.facebook.com/groups/284597231554453/

Until next time,
Vote Democrat
