Meeting notes:

• Judy has doubts that we can do an event this year. We have no money. No one has been around. Bradley and Karen can't do it alone; the incinerator issue is pressing in on us. Part of the problem is that we have no main contact person.
  
• Karen says let's look at raising money and doing an event in the spring. We need a fiscal sponsor. Could we do that through one of our organizations? Go after the Race for the Cure. We could do a poster campaign there.
  
• We need something that is ongoing and gets TLC out there on people's radar screen. There seems to be funding for Precautionary Principle-related work (SF Foundation is doing it, so is Vanguard). Get this for 2004.
  
• Do people see a way to do it this year? How do we want to see TLC survive?
  
• Emily would do outreach, but needs direction, because she has little experience.
  
• Marlene is an experienced theatre person -- also Art and Revolution might be willing. What about Michael Moore?
  
• Recalling Race for the Cure events of the past: "Who really causes cancer?" We could do that again.
  
• Can Breast Cancer Fund help with the images?
  
• BCA will have a table at the Race for the Cure, which is on September 7th! BCA, WCRC, and Greenaction have the signs from earlier events, we think. It would be a great educational opportunity. Last time, we had brochures that identified the chemical companies, etc. that support the Race for the Cure.
  
• Karen will get the brochure to us to reproduce. How many of us will be there? Karen, Emily, and Catherine will inventory the signs.
  
• Emily will contact people about the sign inventory.
  
• Judy wants a minimum of 10 people. Emily will do some phone calling.
  
• There will be a poster parts on Monday, September 1 (Labor Day) at Karen Susag's place at 1 PM. The address is 1162 Alabama Street, San Francisco. The cross street is 24th.
  
• Get to the Race for the Cure (September 7) by 8:30 AM.
  
• Who has the pink ribbon/noose buttons? Catherine?
  
• Next time, we will do long-range planning.
  
• Judy will send the reminder of our next meeting: September 9, 6PM, Greenaction.
