W-Space Meeting
Discussion of the meeting on December 14th at
noon on the 10th floor ballroom. The city has been paying for the
space – over $85,000 per year – for almost a year now. Why are they willing to
pay for the space if it is empty and not if it is occupied? The city needs to
prove that it is willing to support the community.

of the DNC last week.
MOTION: Roland motions to create a
women’s sub-committee of the DNC that will deal with issues such as
empowerment, education, entrepreneurship, women’s safety, sharing and
collaboration.
Ludvik seconds. motion passes
LAPP Meeting
Discussion
of meeting at 5:30 today
Why don’t we
have a soft copy. Should demand 20 more copies for the board.
We need to
have a serious discussion of why the DNC is involved in the LAPP. If we cannot
get serious commitments out of the city to support public community space (ie.
Forgive the $85k) and support the street market
Discussion
that we still have a chance to ask for concessions from the City in order to
play nice at the LAPP approval council meeting on March 12th.
Rob mentions
the attack websites on Facebook and Google sites run by Tami and Wendy that do
nothing but attack the DNC.
We have
information from two board members that they were offered money from Wendy
Pedersen to resign from the board of the DNC
Tami
Starlight is sending emails slamming the DNC, and runs the anti-DNC websites.
