Last year Scott sent out the membership reminder letter single-handed. We want a union printer but none is available in Mendocino County. The number of membership reminder letters is small enough that it is overkill to try to use a union printer.
John Haschak's campaign wants to donate to us. Scott is making inquiries if this is permitted.

Reimbursing for gasoline was not discussed. Sally said our insurance covers volunteers while they are set up, so we don't need insurance.
Sally added that the CC can provide funds because we will be promoting federal candidates.
