Here is the full agenda, I put up a new thread, but now figure everyone is looking here...

Questions:

1. WHEN will we be able to see detailed maps of the (draft) revised proposals so that we can comment on specifics??

I'll be there, hopefully the AC works a little better that day.

Matt · 08-05-2009, 08:46 AM

I am in Chris!!!!

tylerdurden · 08-05-2009, 09:08 AM

I'm there.

Holy Mackerel · 08-05-2009, 09:13 AM

BWE members, this is going to be the anti-fishing members turf, we need to show up. There will be a sea of blue shirts, I suspect, they will drag their teen kids, like they did at the SD meeting. Most of which probably could care less about the MLPA, and are more interested in texting, and their Ipods was my observation.

Please rally!

Let's follow Maggie's lead and wear Green, try and drown them out, we are Conservationists too.

Matt · 08-05-2009, 09:43 AM

Anybody got a kid we can borrow???

so cal shaggy · 08-05-2009, 02:39 PM

You can add mine and Erika's name to any meeting list, we are fully cimmitted to every meeting. There will always be one of us there.

kurt · 08-05-2009, 04:59 PM

I'll be there.

Matt · 08-05-2009, 05:16 PM

Hey Chris what times are the meetings????

SeaDog · 08-05-2009, 05:48 PM

I'm in, and have a couple seats if anybody needs to carpool from the OC. Just be warned I've been told my car smells like fish.

JrBasser · 08-05-2009, 06:59 PM

I haven't been able to get to any of the meetings, but would love to attend for the final blow. There will actually be very few teenagers unless the conservatists plan on pulling their kids from school that day. I am willing to skip the day if I can catch a ride!

Fallon? Siebler? Anyone else near east county?

CurtyL · 08-05-2009, 09:02 PM

I'm there. Maybe I'll even talk this time.

tylerdurden · 08-05-2009, 09:43 PM

the meetings themselves will go all day. We don't find out about public comment time until ~10 days before hand. You know, when it's too late to give your work 2 weeks notice about time off

dgax65 · 08-05-2009, 10:20 PM

I'll be there.

Matt · 08-06-2009, 06:02 AM

JrBasser · 08-07-2009, 04:03 PM
