IMPORTANT June and July Meeting locations!

Hey guys,

For our June "picnic" meeting, I've scouted out "Livingston Park" in Manchester as our best bet. Why?

1. It's free. (Bear Brook costs each adult $3 to get in, and $280 to rent the large covered shelter. Which was already rented that day.)

2. It's in a central location, just a little north of downtown. It's on Rte 3/28 across from the Kia dealership. Google map here

3. Parking is decent. If there's a soccer game that morning, it might be a little crowded, but still do-able for our crowd. Extra parking is found all around the park, around the tennis courts and soccer fields.

4. Plenty of playground for the kids, a nice walking trail around a large lake for the adults. I'll upload pictures later of a wooded glen or athletic bleachers it has that we can meet on.

5. If it rains, there is a "Papa Gino's" restaurant just one more light up the road which opens at 10:30 that will be our back-up location.

Therefore, these are the details for the June meeting on the 2nd:

-Bring folding chairs or blankets. There are not enough tables for everyone if we meet in the glen.

-Bring food and drink for yourselves, others if you wish. There is none at the park. There is a Dunkin Donuts 1 min down the road. I'll bring some chilled bottled water for about 6 people.

-Bring outdoor fun gear (footballs, frisbees, I'll bring a volleyball).

-As discussed at the May meeting, to have more Saturday free after the meeting, the June meeting time will be 10 AM. Repeat: 10 AM. This will also get us ready for the earlier July+ meetings (see below).

-If it's raining, go one more stoplight to the north and turn into the shopping center to the right, and we'll meet at the Papa Gino's pizza place. They open at 10:30. If you have any question whether it is raining (hard enough) or not, call my cell.

For July and beyond, I've worked it out with Keith how to meet at the Tap Room while respecting his customers. They don't usually open until 11:30, but Keith said he would bring the staff in early once a month so we can meet in the front room at 10 AM. We should usually be done by 12, and shouldn't run aground of the lunch crowd. It might be good to be breaking up right when natives are walking in, so they can see political fun in action.

Murphy's Tap Room is at 494 Elm St.

Parking is possible down Elm street to the south. You don't have to feed the meters on Sat.

So we'll meet there from July onwards!

Thank you to the whole group for your flexibility, patience and willingness to try new things! I'm looking forward to a fun outdoor meeting, throwing the volleyball around!

Much appreciated!

My roommate says it's at 11am now. Can someone confirm or deny?

[Kat Kanning]

Confirmed.

Guys,

Just a reminder, the August meeting is coming up not this Saturday,
but next Saturday the 4th, at Murphy's Taproom.

Talking to Keith at Billy's party, he said it would be okay if we
started the meeting at 11, because his Saturday morning crowd is
extremely slow. It would mean his cooks and waitresses could come
in a little later.

This would also be a comprimise between the MVP folks who want the
meeting at 10 and those who want it at 12.

So, FOR THE LAST TIME THIS YEAR, we are changing the meeting time,
to 11 am on Saturday morning. Hopefully, the rest of the year will
not be as tumultous as the first part, and this meeting time will
please most folks.

Thank you, and remember to e-mail me with anything you'd like on the
agenda.

yes 11am ... government time .... for those who still bow the knee to caesar

We will be there. We can see all of you on Saturday with new Keene Free Press papers.

[Lloyd Danforth]

If R&K bring them, NH Atlases will be available for sale.  $15.00 with $5.00 (maybe) going to the Liberty Scholarship Fund.

[Bald Eagle]

Ah well, I'll probably be missing this month's meeting since I won't be getting to NH until that night.  But y'all can tell me how it went, and I'll wait all month with bated breath for the next one.

See you Sunday!   

[Dave Ridley]

it's still at 11am this week?

Hey all,

Another MVP meeting is coming up THIS Saturday, the 6th, at Murphy's
Taproom, 11 am!

It might bee too late, but anyone going to Taproom Tuesdays- let any
new folks know! Let's grow the size of the meeting even more!

On the agenda this meeting:

-Shuvom reports on much NHLA stuff
-Dreepa is leading a Ron Paul lit drop right after the meeting
-We might have a recruiter for the NH "Constition militia" (to go
around peacefully teaching people about the NH Constitution) if I
contact him in time
-Manpower event where, if 10 people donate 15 minutes of handwriting
work right after the meeting, Irena can do a mailing that will ROCK
Concord
-Book Swap!

The jail where Lauren Canario is being held is next to Murphy's, about a two-minute walk up Valley Street. Perhaps a protest in front of the jail after—or during—the MVP meeting is in order. Let's get 40–50 porcs out there at once and show them how much support she has!

I'll be litdropping for RP after
