January events

Next meeting: Jan 14.
I want to change our meeting day to the third Friday of every month, but there are two conflicts on Jan 21, so for January only I suggest we meet on the second Friday, Jan 14th. The conflicts are both fun events for progressive Democrats, which you may want to attend:
The Blue Dot Ball on Jan 21 somewhere in the Triangle, (not fully planned yet).
Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) Summit
in Washington, D.C.
January 21-23, 2005
Helping to shape the future of the Democratic Party, and the direction of our country, with progressive speakers, discussions and workshops. Together we can take back our Democracy. Some of the speakers:
Medea Benjamin
Rep. John Conyers
Gov. Howard Dean
Tom Hayden
Rep. Dennis Kucinich
Rep. Barbara Lee
Marianne Williamson
Jim Zogby

I just heard about this group, and I think it is a great idea. I am in full agreement with their vision and strategy:
