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.
