      Ad hoc committee reports:
        -- Fred, Helen, Robin, Michelle, Steve, Kayla, Tekla --
      1.  Club Meetings Robin
        Face to face/zoom meetings venues. Robin Sunbeam reported on the success of the meeting. The payment seems to be varied based on what we purchase for pizza. Robin recommends returning. Perhaps a sandwich board outside the front door. Agreed to book Slam Dunk Piazza for two more meetings, March and April. Desire to improve on the darkness of the room.
      2. Civic Visibility Tekla
        Civic Event participation- Tekla Bros created a list of events around the county for tabling. Next task would be to figure out what is involved with tabling for the event. Is it a table, mobile headquarters or something else? Dividing up the work on how to collect the information will be discussed at the next meeting.
        Monthly newsletter (Fred)- No discussion
        PSAs (Robin)- Robin Sunbeam will continue to create the PSA's. These are impactful and are working.
      3. 2024 Camapign Steve
        "Mobilize" phone banks - Steve wants us to get involved in other areas, i.e. Georgia Special Election.  Fred Marvin demonstrated how to use "Mobilize" to find phone banks and campaigns members can join. Make an effort to advertise this tool to our members.
      4. Community Forum Helen
        Make an annual plan for meeting presentations. Suggestions are:

        1. Juan Orozco
        2. People running for Senate (closer to primary)
        3. Alex Padilla
        4. Boards that we elect and possibly the candidates running for those boards
        5. Possible panel presentations
        6. Single Payer Universal Healthcare update
        7. PSA information should go to Robin at least two weeks before the meeting to be most effective
    2. Report - Gather, return MHQ Kits. Let's do a photo shoot to record one - *Robin*- Discussed in Chair's report
    3. Discussion- Purchasing equipment to support remote meetings. It is suggested that the club own the equipment to support remote meetings. Research into what to buy will be done. As we find equipment that works, it will be purchased. A draft financial policy will be created by the treasurer and presented at the next meeting.
