      2. Ideas for Attracting Members to Mendocino County Democratic Inland Club
        Fred sent an email to Susan Savage to get trained with MOE. Date TBD

        • The membership is 2% of the registered democrats that could be in the club.
        • Use MOE to generate target DEMS for out-reach
        • Fred to get a list of registered DEMs in our IMDC zips to send out recruiting letters, or a least to sign up on the mailing list.
        • A list of specific age groups to help the REYDems,
        • A list by ethnicity to help Juan set up a Latino club.
        • A list of  those Dems who have not voted in recent elections, a reminder that registering is only the first step in participation.
      3. MHQ status and results - we need to re-think the MHQ. Headquarters has trouble connecting with the volunteers to take it out consistently.
