Greetings to all of you from California. Thanks for your commitments and
involvement in SPED's Outreach.

I will be back in Minnesota in a couple of days, but I wanted you to remind
you of St. Paul E-Democracy Outreach meeting on Tuesday, October 17 at
5:00pm at one of Rondo library's meeting room. Please mark your calendars.

1. Volunteers. Gary, Mike, Brady, Cathi, Bonnie, Michelle, Sara,
Michelle, Kevin, Tim, Chip, Rosa Maria, Brief reports from tabling
volunteers, podcasting and workshop presenters. What worked out, what
didn't, what needs to be done.

b. Reimbursement procedures for handouts.

3. Cathi Lynman-Onkka. Promotion: a. Compilation of list of agencies and
organizations near Rondo Library that we need to contact to let them know
about free workshops and facilitation of use of digital tools during

person). b. Tim, Cathi, Rosa Maria. Coordinate with Katy Schultz to have a
Pizza night at the library to engage patrons.

If my count is correct, we have about 17 Mondays in the first semester of
2007. Right now, we had originally scheduled two sets of six sessions. We
can add Wikis, and Podcasting as workshops as well as suggestions from
library patrons (from suggestion box). Any other ideas?

If you have specific ideas, please send them before the meeting so that we
can discuss them.

the meeting on Monday is scheduled to last one hour, we have run about
half-an hour more. I think we can do a lot of work beforehand to keep it
short.

Please RSVP. If, for some reason you cannot come to the meeting (but please
try), send your comments and assignments in your response.

THANK YOU again for everything you do to keep this project going.

Best,

Rosa Maria de la Cueva Peterson, 651.699.4286
