JANUARY 2014 MEETING RECAP

from John Debus, 

Hi  Everyone,

      I’m a little late with the feedback on our last event as I’m doing a little traveling. So I am reporting from Chile on our past event and will send this out as soon as I find internet access. It was a great turn out with a lot of good information from our attendees on community events and happenings. Many are involved and try to keep us educated/informed with local and national issues. The movie was also very informative, with a great discussion that followed. We had our annual election with the following results:    
       President- John Debus     

       Vice president- Richard Silvestri                  

       Secretary- William McNeely Jr.

       Treasurer- Erika Alvarez    

       Communications Director - Kathy Overholt      

       Move to Amend Liaison -  Vicki Racine        

       Conservation & Environmental Specialist - William McNeely Jr.           

          

        We would like to thank those whom have served on our last board and welcome the new members to our board with great appreciation for their future time and efforts to help TCPA grow and make our community and world a better place. This will be my last year as president; it is time to find new blood and leadership to elevate the Progressive Movement to the next level here on the Treasure Coast.

      We introduced our NEW brochure/flyers at the event. They are BEAUTIFUL, a real work of art. Kathy and Erika provided most of the information and Vicki did all the work putting it together and printing them, a truly professional job. Come out and grab a few to pass out to friends, neighbors, family, co-workers, etc. and help us grow. I guarantee you will be proud of them.

        Our next event will be on Tuesday 25 February 2014. It will focus on our ‘media.’ We will be showing the documentary movie “Project Censored” and have a lot of information and discussions on alternative sources of media. Come find out where to get independent news/information sources and how to save MONEY on your TV programming. Bring your knowledge and information to our discussion.

We have decided to have quarterly picnics for more socializing. 

          Our next picnic will be (tentatively) Sunday 30 March 2014. More information will be coming out on this, check our happenings page on our web-site for all the up to date events. We also want to have weekly coffees in each of our cities. Stuart and Vero Beach already have theirs. We like to get ones started in Port St. Lucie and Fort Pierce. Maybe at the farmers market in Fort Pierce on Saturday would be great. Anyone interested or wants more information can contact me any time after 11 February 2014.

          Well, have to get back to my vacation. Hope to see you all at one of the events. 

          Take care, John
