Some last minute changes and updates…

First, the date of the Obama monthly meetup at the Euro Gourmet has been moved up from June 13th to Wednesday, June 6th. This is being done to allow us to better coordinate the June 9th canvass day. But, also because the Euro Gourmet is moving the week of the 13th and we wouldn’t have had a place to meet anyway.

This is the new meeting info…

Second, Tom Brown will be hosting a phone banking and debate watch get-together this coming Sunday, June 3rd. Here are the details, provided by Brian Sullivan of the Obama campaign…

We have a list of people who attended the Dartmouth rally from Vermont as well as people who signed up online to volunteer. We are going to call them to mention the June 9th walk for Change that is going on in Burlington. Everyone would need to bring their own cell phone and preferably a charger so it doesn’t run out of battery. It will run from 5 until 7 and than turn into a debate watching party. Tom mentioned that everyone can pitch in some money and order out for food if they want to eat.

Here’s what Heather has to say…

I know this is short notice……so please forgive me in advance. I have just been asked to head up the Burlington Vermont for Change.  The Walk for Change is scheduled for June 9th.  Here are my preliminary thoughts and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE all input, advice, and help is appreciated at this point…..Here is my vision….It would be great if we could meet up at Battery Park in Burlington around 11AM with picnic lunches in hand for a brief canvassing training and to hand out materials.  I think if 40 of us could attend we could canvass the entire city.  The goal is for each of us to knock on 50 doors so I do not think it would consume the entire day…just a few hours. I am willing to do the logistic work…maps….etc…if anyone else wants to help with this that would be great.

Prior to the event it would be great to have some volunteers to make phone calls. I should be getting a list of Chittenden County Obama supporters by the end of the week.  So right now I am just trying to gauge general interest…get volunteers for a meeting prior to the event…and have a preliminary head count so that I can pick up materials in Manchester next week.  If you are definitely able to attend around that time and on the date please respond to me but also sign up for the event on the Obama website. Brian Sullivan is listed as the event coordinator and it is the only event listed in Burlington.

Look forward to hearing from lots of you soon.  Please call if you have questions etc….

Warm regards and Happy Spring!!!
