General Meeting, Monday, January 23, 2012

Agenda:
pizza:5:00pm
5:30pm-6:00pm: meeting.
Report backs on our campaigns, future plans, etc
6:00pm U.F.O. Study Presentation/Q&A
6:45pm Meeting ends with February 2012 Events calendar distribution. VERY IMPORTANT!! There will be changes to our meeting schedules that the membership can help spread the word.

Description:
The good folks from the U.F.O. Study will be at the San Francisco Drug Users' Union General Meeting on Monday, January 23 to talk about their work with HEP C vaccines, clinical trials and other ground breaking action research. HEP C is a major health problem affecting drug users,so I know we'll give them a warm reception. We must keep literally fighting for our lives when US Congressional leaders ignore the evidence and pass laws to de-fund needle exchange.
Rationale:
The U.F.O. folks graciously agreed to also answer questions about their organizational structure. All drug users union members interested in should we go for non-profit status, Board of Directors, fiscal sponsorship, etc. should take note that Monday's U;F;O; Study Q&A on organizational issues is the first of a series of discussions with organizations similar to the Drug Users' Union.

This series is a response to Jeannie Little's General Meeting discussion (early December) that clarified the Harm Reduction Therapy Center/Drug Users' Union relationship. Follow-up to that meeting consensus was that our (two?) organizations will continue to move towards independence, while recognizing we aren't there yet. With that long-term goal in the background, consultations with our peer organizations continues the Drug Users Union on that path. Further questions on this series, etc.

When you'll go for a meeting it can be an important one so if by chance you forget that then it will become very bad for you. But if you can use itimeplus by orapex with this you can easily track your time. Again you can set the remainder so that you never forget the important moments in your life.
