June Meeting of Fresno Section Members
Posted
On: Jun 16, 2009 (10:59:17)
The meeting of PECG Fresno Section Members at Roeding Park on Thursday, 11 June 2009 was a success. An informal count indicated that more than 200 members came to share lunch and get the latest PECG status from Chris Codirolli.
The lunch menu was subway sandwiches, provided from a store managed by one of our local members. Everyone seemed to be pleased at the foot-long sandwiches. Unfortunately there were no paper napkins. The event organizers apologize for this oversight. It was purely by accident. We'll do better next time. Turkey, ham & cheese, and vegetarian seemed to be a good mix. There were no sandwiches left by the end of the meeting. It did seem that members would prefer more water and less carbonated beverages. Some Pepsi cans were left at the end of the day. The mix of chips also seemed to be good--or at least good enough. Only a few members seemed to miss a cookie or brownie bar.
Chris Codirolli's presentation was well received, and there seemed to be pleanty of time for individual questions. We are in tough economic times, and none of the future is certain. PECG is doing its best to mitigate the direct costs to its members. Years of patient work building relationships and establishing credability are paying off. Our member dues are being put to good use.
Chris announced that PECG is establishing a Federal-level political action committee. The "rules of the game" are that members have to opt-in. This is a worthy challenge. When we consider how much of our options are precluded by actions taken at the Federal level, it does seem prudent to develop channels of communication to the decision makers on the Hill. Much of PECG's success has come from an active State-level committee, and we hope to emulate that model for Federal decisions. Although it is hard in difficult times to contribute more outside one's fixed expenses, even a little would help. If every member could deduct as little as $10 per month, none of us would notice the loss and the gains to us, our work, and our paychecks would be significant. Enrollment details are available through Section officers, and from PECG corporate staff. Web links will come later. Join the Federal PECG PAC!
