Everyone,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=781490416-08052006>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. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=781490416-08052006>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.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
