18th LD June 2012 meeting rescheduled and relocated.

18th LD June 2012 meeting rescheduled and relocated.
Due to the WA State Democratic Convention being held on June 1-3, in Seattle, we have rescheduled the June Meeting to the following Saturday, June 9th and relocated it to be at the newly-opened Clark County Democrats Coordinated Campaign Office Headquarters near 4th Plain and Andresen Road.
The General Membership Meeting starts at 9:00 AM (as usual).
The Executive Board Meeting wil start a little later than usual: 8:30AM (bring your own breakfast and beverage).
We will be having a VoteBuilder Basic Training Session at 1:00 PM – about 3:00 PM (coordinated by Pete Aller, assisted by Dave Shehorn)
There will likely be a shortage of chairs, so if you have fold-up chairs or canvas campground chairs, bring them to the meeting.  The office will be staffed by that time, but I’m not sure how many people will be in the office that day.  We’ll likely meet in the backroom/kitchen.  If you have a laptop computer, bring it with you and you can try a few tasks on your own.  If you need a VoteBuilder login ID, send email to Pete Aller (imblu17@comcast.net ) or Dave Shehorn ( david.shehorn@yahoo.com )
Coordinated Campaign Office Headquarters –
It’s just off the intersection of Andresen Road and Fourth Plain:
3012 NE 72nd Ave Suite 35 facing 4th Plain, at the foot of Auto Mall Drive,
just east of center of the North side of the 4th Plain Center.
Fourth business from left – from the East
==> Laundry, Variety Store, Empty, US – the CCD-CCO-HQ <==
