Our fourth monthly meeting on October 26 was attended by five members. Here is my (completely unofficial) understanding of what we accomplished.

We reviewed, revised and approved a letter to Senator Debra bowen endorsing SB 596. The letter (see attachment below) was mailed on October 28.

We also reviewed and revised a draft resolution endorsing SB 596 that could be used as a model by county Boards of Supervisors and city councils.

The November 15 meeting was attended by five members and an observer
from the Marin County Libertarian Party. Most of the meeting was
devoted to two detailed discussions:

*** Whether to continue our existing strategy of trying for a Board of
Supervisors resolution on SB 596 before January. We discussed getting
endorsements, and the importance of having endorsements in hand when
approaching office holders. This was contrasted with the strategy this
fall (approaching the Board of Supervisors first instead of focusing on
documenting support in the community), which was dictated by the
timeline of SB 596. We decided to continue trying to get appointments
with members of the Board of Supervisors at the earliest possible date,
and to continue pushing both for SB 596 (in case it stays alive in
January) and for general language supporting future legislation.
