MEETING SUMMARY (part I)

Tomorrow we should have a list of committees that were formed and the contact information for the people who will actively spearhead each area for which we need focus.

In the meantime, here is a quick recap:

1. Over 100 people attended the meeting. Names, Email & Phone contacts gathered for distribution. If you would like to add your name to the list, please send an email to beauFX@regard.com
2. All information will continue to be centralized on this blog. You should consider "following" the blog with Google Friend connect. This will notify you by email every time the blog is updated. You may follow anonymously. The point is our collective numbers matter. We have analytics to show the online engagement. (We have posted examples of the engagement since starting this blog on Saturday.)
   
3. A press release is being drafted by Brown & Dutch Public Relations (PDPR) with the intent to get a commitment -- in writing -- from the LA County Supervisor, Zev Yaroslavsky that Fire Camp 8 will not house inmates.
4. We will post templates for the community to use for their own outreach to public officials. Each denizen should (i) write; (ii) call; (iii) email said representatives in order to create an initial landslide of pressure and communication. All three actions should be taken by each of us.
5. A list of all politicians, community leaders, members of the fire fighting community and other influencers will be created with the email and mailing addresses of said parties.
6. We WELCOME your blog contributions. We are interested in learning what you know. We now have volunteers who will fact check your information for the purpose of ensuring that all information posted here is up-to-date and correct.
   
7. Though we have earned some media attention, our focus and efforts must remain concentrated to ensure the safety of our CHILDREN and community.
