OAK PARK DFA LINK-UP Minutes of May 2

Linked to groups: Oak Park DFA Meeting

What was originally two people in attendance turned into six, with the last two arriving after the anti-war rally at Scoville Park.

E-mail responses to the poll on which forum we should do next were evenly split, with 2 votes for each of the three choices. Three of the first four people at the meeting favored the forum on suburban sprawl (“Up or Out”). After Ron arrived from the rally, however, his report of the 150-200 person attendance and his personal willingness to put together a healthcare/single payer forum swung the decision in that direction. Bill made the point that there are a lot of alternatives to single payer and the forum couldn’t be framed as just single payer vs. not single payer. We are looking toward a date in late July or early August; Eric and Bill will work with Ron on setting it up.

It was also agreed that the group will plan to have a table at A Day in Our Village. Bill will check out the registration process and Eric will pay whatever fee may be required.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill Thomasson
