1. What will the letter say? Is it a general call to action or does it mention only certain upcoming events?
I'm editing Barry's draft now. I'd like to do a general call to get involved, with the 2 events in June highlighted. I'll send the latest draft to the list.
2. Do we know what materials we want to have at the booths? Literature, voter reg forms, etc.?
Both of these, plus 1-2 forms where people could sign up to get involved in specific issues (e.g., medicare for all).
3. Do we have a plan/strategy of how to motivate people to join the GP and participate/contribute to its success during our outreach efforts?
I usually use roughly the same pitch I'm including in the letter.
4. More ideas for events below.
Union St and North Beach are not great; too fratty. Fillmore Jazz just never has enough people. We've never tried Inner Sunset Flea, so that sounds like the best bet! JMC
I looked on the schedule for Fun, Cheap SF (http://sf.funcheap.com/ <http://sf.funcheap.com/>) and found some more weekend festivals for June and July (and beyond).
One of them, the inner Sunset Block Party has the following future events (2nd Sundays of each month): Second Sundays May to Sept + October 15th | 10 am to 4 pm, Irving Street (9th-10th avenues)
June: June 3-4: Union St. Festival June 17-18: North Beach Festival
July: July 1-2: Fillmore Jazz Festival July 9: Inner Sunset Flea & Block Party/Street Festival July 30: Treasure Island Flea (not sure about this one, might be a pain for people to get over there)

Do we already have a specific person doing the coordinating and planning?
Rich has registered to get tables for the events in June. Barry and I will take charge of getting our boot there, and we'll try to organize volunteers at our meeting next Wed. We could use help if you want to be a point person for other events starting in July.
I???d like to help out onsite with tabling, but I???d also like to reach out to newly-registered GP members to recruit for the events. We spoke of something similar in last month???s monthly general meeting.
Is it possible to get the data file of newish GP members into an Excel file? I???d be willing to call some of these folks. It would be good if we could get a few people to help with this. The purpose of the calls would be: (1) welcome them to SFGP and (2) invite them to volunteer at the tabling events/tell them about other volunteer opportunities.
Barry is currently drafting a letter, and I'll generate the mail/call lists from our database. Let's get the letter sent out between our meeting next week and the end of the month, then do follow-up calls between the time new Greens receive the letter and our June events we'd be asking them to help with (the first being on June 11, but we can keep calling through Pride).
