Results from Olympia FOR’s Annual Meeting and Election
Posted by Web Editor on June 14th, 2008
We enjoyed a lively and upbeat annual meeting on Monday evening May 19. Various persons briefly summarized our wide-ranging activities during the past 12 months. We elected Steering Committee members and officers. We generated creative ideas for the future. We enjoyed each other’s participation. … All this, and we ended on time!
We re-elected Steering Committee incumbents Cheryl Crist, Chris Carson, Jody Tiller, Dan Ryan, and Monica Hoover – and also elected Kim Dobson – to two-year terms through May 31, 2010. We re-elected Jody Tiller to serve another two-year term as Co-Chair, along with Dan Ryan, who has one year left in his term. We re-elected Monica Hoover to another two-year term as Secretary. These incumbents’ two-year terms will last through May 31, 2009: Audrey Daye, Dennis Mills, Glen Anderson, Jerry Smith, Jamie Martin, Kristen Dahle, Paula Allison, Paulette Frisina, Bert Whitlock, and Vale Core.
Small groups generated creative and positive ideas to address these three questions:
▪ What kinds of violence and injustice exist in the greater Olympia area, and how could we substitute nonviolent alternatives?
▪ What is the potential for small clusters of people to bond into affinity groups and set their own paths toward promoting peace and social justice over the coming months and years?
▪ At this moment in history, what does the peace & justice movement need, and how could we meet those needs?
We hope some of these creative ideas will be proposed for action at upcoming meetings of the Steering Committee – and perhaps at the June 11 and August 13 picnics.
