Bosun Ahoy
 
+
OGPAF Arrrrrgh
 
+
Pirate_Joe Ahoy!
 
+
Due to a family emergency, Jokeefe will not be joining us this evening.
 
+
You were missed last meeting Bosun. I hope all is well.
 +
Bosun I am not dead nor incapacitated or worm food
 +
Pirate_Joe That's a good start!
 +
Lets start, IDs
 +
OGPAF Johann Drolshagen, Webmaster, California
 +
Pirate_Joe Joseph Onoroski, Captain, MA
 +
Bosun Joseph Klein, Wisconsin Quartermaster
 +
Pirate_Joe Is there anything you would like to add to the agenda?
 +
OGPAF all good here
 +
Bosun No
 +
Pirate_Joe First order is the challenge we faced in securing the bank account.
 +
Bosun Did you have any luck?
 +
Pirate_Joe Tomorrow I am headed for a 10am meeting in Burlington, MA with an official from Rockland Trust.  We should have the account situated then.
 +
The challenge will be adding you to it but nothing a little road trip could not solve.
 +
Bosun Good - if you need anything from me just text - you have my number?
 +
Pirate_Joe After that, I assume you would be able to add in the $60 you were holding on my behalf?
 +
<3
 +
Bosun You have a PayPal account? I can send it that way.
 +
Pirate_Joe I avoid PayPal whenever I can.  I would rather have you add it directly to the account when you are added to it.
 +
Bosun OK
 +
Pirate_Joe Unless you do not think you can make it up here this year.
 +
Either way, sending it to me just seems like extra steps.
 +
Bosun To Boston? Spring maybe.
 +
Pirate_Joe That said, having checked the laws, we can take individual contributions from the states but not the other way around.
 +
Since I currently see this as a fund to help organize a national meeting, I'm ok with this.
 +
Any suggestions or thoughts?
 +
OGPAF all good here
 +
Bosun Not at this time.
 +
Pirate_Joe I'll let you know directly Bosun when I get this done.  I am sure we can get you set up with online access right away though I think the funds will be limited at first.
 +
Bosun Yes we are poor pirates.
 +
Pirate_Joe Aye
 +
There are ways to make money work, mostly by getting contributions and then not spending them needlessly.
 +
Just because we have it does not mean we need to use it right away.
 +
OGPAF OH, I have ideas - but for a longer conversation.
 +
Bosun Or at all if we can for a while.
 +
Pirate_Joe I hope that by the next council, we will be able to do something in Washington D.C. as a party as a whole.
 +
Next up, Website and Email
 +
OGPAF?
 +
OGPAF all federal elections are loaded
 +
voting is working
 +
Pirate_Joe Links please
 +
Bosun I need to file the DC and FEC stuff before year end - and I am putting in all the organizational costs as a donation.

 +

 +
OGPAF note each state has their own election
