I know that there were some people that could not make it to the meeting, and since we do not have a secretary yet, I will give a short run-down of what we discussed at the 10/3/07 meeting.
- We are going to be electing officers next week, since this meeting was such short notice. We decided that it would not be fair to elect officers on such a brief amount of time. Everyone agreed we will post activities further in the future.
- We ran down a suggestion list from http://campuslp.org . They suggested the following"
- Contact your local or state Libertarian Party. Ask if they have any candidates who need some volunteers. Offer to go door-to-door with flyers and brochures.
- Show liberty-themed movies. Depending on your membership and campus, these could include WACO:RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, or any Cheech & Chong film, or HARRY'S WAR, or a Ron Paul video, or whatever suits your fancy. See www.MissLiberty.com for more ideas. Have a 3-minute presentation before the movie explaining WHY it is a liberty-themed movie (just so the movie-goers get the point!).
- Start a club web site
- Invite the Campus Dems and Campus GOPs to a tri-partisan debate. Pick a couple of key topics -- War on Drugs, Draft, Social Seurity, whatever is hot on your campus.
- Hold a club fund-raiser. Invite some local bands that need exposure and will play anywhere for free (there are ALWAYS a few of those on campus!). Find an outdoor venue, perhaps a field outside of town that someone's friend or family owns. Have a several-hour concert. Charge people by the carload instead of by the person, to encourage car-pooling and designated drivers.
- Invite a charismatic libertarian candidate to speak at your club. (MAKE SURE THE SPEAKER IS CHARISMATIC. Dull speakers will kill any future interest in your club!)
- From this list we thought hosting a Tri-Partisan Debate would be a good idea. John Russell volunteered to try and contact the other clubs to see if they would want to participate.
- Travis Wright is going to get the posters out around campus ASAP to try and promote our club more.
