[G Richard Yamagata PhD]

This is the PRELIMINARY agenda.  The Meeting is too long!

Campus Democrat Officers, please attend.  You can vote; just cannot make
motions.  

Going over the agenda, we are going to go over time again and not all issues
will be covered.
The President and Vice President will have to cut some items that need to be
discussed.
The most important items are at the front of the meeting.

PLEASE NOTE -- THIS MEETING IS AT THE BLANCHARD ROOM OF THE DAVIS BRANCH
YOLO COUNTY LIBRARY.  

The meeting starts at 7PM and will end before 9PM.  We must vacate with the
room clean and in order by 9PM, which means adjourning at 8:50PM to be able
to clear tables and chairs and clean the room.  

If you received your DDC board member folder, PLEASE BRING YOUR FOLDER TO
THE MEETING.  

Please note that all Davis Democrat Club members are welcome to attend the
board meeting.  Usually, we have several guests, both members and
non-members, at these meetings.
