Next Club Event: January 21, 2012 Annual workshop session

UPDATE:

I want to let everyone know that we can look forward to having Henry Vandermeir as our special speaker to help us kick off our planning and organizing workshop on January 21 (first discussed last Friday; see below). Henry is the president of the California Democratic Council, and is thoroughly involved in supporting Democratic clubs. You can see some of what he does on the CDC website, http://www.cdc-ca.org/. Henry has been tirelessly working all around the state of California to spread activist training to Democrats, and has also been a club leader in the past in San Bernardino County.

We have also set the location for the event to be at the hall of the Operating Engineers union in Redlands. The address for the location is 1647 West Lugonia, Redlands, CA 92374, and the name on the facility is International Union of Operating Engineers Local #12. The fine facility is being provided free to us, and we hope that there will be an opportunity to meet some of the members of the union local.

There is a map to the Operating Engineers hall here (click for map). The location is 1647 W. Lugonia Ave, Redlands.

So plan to be there on Saturday morning at 11am, January 21, and in the meantime be thinking about what your goals, skills and efforts will be for 2012.

Fellow Democrats,

Happy New Year to all, and we hope you have had your full measure of enjoyment and happiness during the holiday season.

With this being a new year, and especially because it is an election year, it is important that we members of the Redlands Area Democratic Club refresh ourselves and organize for the tasks and challenges ahead.

We want to use the occasion of the monthly meeting on Saturday, January 21, 2012 to delve deeply into the plan and organization for the coming year.

This effort will need the full membership to be involved so that we can decide our goals, programs, tasks and structure.

This effort will also need a different meeting place than our usual meeting place at Napoli's, in order to give us enough space and flexibility to work both as a large group and as subgroups (for project workgroups or committee groups). So we are looking now for the best location that we can find.

We also plan to start the event earlier in the day than our usual meeting time, in order to be able to do more and still finish by 3pm. The starting time will be at 11:00am. Lunch will be provided for $5, and will be sandwiches, chips, and cookies.

There will be more information coming in the two weeks between now and the event on January 21, so be alert for emails with the subject RADC January Event.

(In order to be included on the email list, send an email to redlandsdems©gmail.com with the subject line "Add email list")

It will be important that as many members and potential members as possible be at the event. As we start off the new year, it is a great time to bring friends and neighbors who have been wanting to be actively involved. This is not a time to hold back. It is time to be an activist.

Best regards,

Steve Chapman

President, Redlands Area Democratic Club

August meeting, August 20, 2011

For the August meeting of the Redlands Area Democratic Club, our speaker was Dr. Dorene Isenberg, past chair of the Economics Department of the University of Redlands. Her topic was

“Our Walk on the Wild Side: Neo-liberalism Unleashed”

Our current economic woes are not simply the result of recent economic policies “gone bad”. Where we are and why we’re here result from a change in ideology and global economic position and thinking that occurred close to 40 years ago. Dr. Isenberg addressed some of the crucial changes that signaled how we were altering our path and explained why and how these changes have been instrumental in producing the Great Recession and our non-existent recovery.

This event has already occurred, and if you missed it you can still get some sense of the presentation by checking the report of the presentation on the local web news outlet the Loma Linda Patch.

July meeting, July 16, 2011

For the July meeting of the Redlands Area Democratic Club, we will be having a presentation on health care for all by Dr. Bill Honigman. His topic will be "Progress in Healthcare Reform: Update on the Crisis and the Political Solution"

This event has occurred, and coverage of the event was done by the local news and blog, the LomaLindaPatch. See the web page with some of the information presented by Dr. Bill at LomaLindaPatch under the News>Government menu item.

Dr Bill Honigman, is a full-time practicing “ER doc” from Orange County, CA for over 25 years, husband and father of two grown sons, a twice elected former President of the South Orange County Democratic Club, a long-standing elected and re-elected member and former officer of the Orange County Democratic Central Committee, former elected delegate and appointed Rules Committee member of the Democratic National Convention, and now the Orange County Chapter Leader and California State Coordinator of the national grassroots organization Progressive Democrats of America (PDA).
