Hi everyone,

Nine people came together this afternoon to discuss the recovery plan, share our stories, and plan how to continue our local activities in support of the President. Thanks to everyone who attended, and for those who had to miss it...

The Obama organization is asking everyone to share their stories on how the economic crisis is affecting us. Here's how they describe this effort:

"Invite your guests to share their personal stories, particularly how they pertain to the current economic situation.

• How has the current economy affected your life?

• How is the recession affecting our community?

• What aspects of the current economic climate do we feel need to be addressed immediately?

• Why is the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan important to you?

Then share your stories with us. You could create a video, write your stories, share pictures that tell your stories or call 1-888-64-CHANGE (1-888-642-4264) to tell your stories. We're counting on you to collect the real stories of how the economic crisis is affecting Americans. We'll make sure your stories are heard in order to continue to build support for the economic recovery plan."

As to local activities, we decided to do the following:

- spread the word about the need for the President's economic recovery plan

- support the philosophy to "buy local"

- expand our email communications, if we can get one or two volunteers to work on this

- implement a phone tree (Jay will set this up)

- coordinate with the local Democratic Committee (Ellen, chair)

- encourage the Selectboard to get a "shovel ready" stimulus plan project to the voters in March
