Coordination Committee:
This is X, writing in with a status report for the arts and culture committee.
The status of the arts and culture committee, in short, is quite uncertain right now. We have very few people showing up for anything. There are lots of different reasons that we few core members have been speculating that this may be, but the gist is that we are on shaky ground right now.
The Nov 17th props and posters should be getting finished up this weekend, and our goal is to have them finished for a count by Wednesday evening, at our next evening meeting.
We have a sticky situation on our hands regarding the Nov 30th proposed event. Because of the unreliable nature of the committee (which has made itself clear this week), and unreliable communication, there has been confusion and disagreement within our committee over this idea. A few of us would like the event to go forth, perhaps on the one week postponed date of December 7th, while others are apprehensive about the time frame, even if it's postponed a week. Others still have no opinion to speak of since they have not participated in the dialogue.
If any of you could think this over, and come up with some advice or suggestions for us, I would greatly appreciate it. I think it's appropriate to ask, and to take a few minutes to discuss at the meeting, since this situation affects the entire MAPC; there have been postings now on the website and possibly in the mailing -- cancellation would certainly have repercussions, but a poorly planned event would, too. However, a core group of committed, organized people willing to simplify the plan and put something together could be a solution as well. Right now we don't have that group. We have maybe part of that group.
I will be (theoretically) meeting with the group on Saturday, and will try to figure out what we've got, both in terms of the Nov 17th event, and in terms of the committee in general and the People for People, People for Peace.
Look forward to seeing you. I'm hoping we'll go from 4-6 again? TITU?
