From vbedoian at kfcf.org Mon May 8 09:18:05 2006 From: vbedoian at kfcf.org (Vic Bedoian) Date: Mon, 8 May 2006 09:18:05 -0700 Subject: [FFCF-Fundraising] Banquet/Amy Message-ID: <009901c672ba$ffe10ba0$4202a8c0@OFFICE> Hi Everyone, I just talked to Dennis Moynihan of Democracy Now! - he said they are still working on their scheduling and can't commit to a date at this time. They definitely want to come to Fresno and will make it a priority but because of all kinds of factors and constraints, they can't pinpoint at date that they can promise to be here. I explained to him our constraint about reserving the hall and dinner etc. He said they would make some decisions soon but was not specific as to when. So here's what this means to me: I think we should get another banquet speaker, maybe Norman Solomon. Since we need to nail down a date and make all the food plans - we need to move on. When DN! contacts us, a month or so before they come out here, we can arrange a speaking engagement at any number of places. We should start putting out feelers to FSU, FCC etc in preparation for that event. What does anybody else think? Vic -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Would firm up their schedule. So I'll call Norman Solomon. -----Original Message----- From: Sue Kern [mailto:skern at sti.net] Sent: Monday, May 08, 2006 8:33 AM To: vbedoian at kfcf.org; fundraising at kfcf.org Subject: RE: [FFCF-Fundraising] Banquet/Amy >Sounds reasonable if we can pinpoint Norman Soloman.
