At the last meeting, we agreed to meet this Friday and next Friday because we will not meet on Friday, March 28 (due to the Cesar Chavez breakfast that day). We have some good news: we have gotten some funding from Campus Life for the entertainment (not as much as before but enough to cover some of the primary expenses); also, Los Jornaleros del Norte have finalized that they will participate in our march and share their songs and music at the beginning, during the march, and at the end when we arrive at Tony Cerda Park. At our meeting this Friday, we will finalize plans for dates to pass out flyers at the churches and schools; discuss new forms of using social media to begin publicizing the march; finalize the speakers and entertainment; and get reports on the status of the scholarship outreach, the vendors, artists for the t-shirt design, and fundraising. Attached is an agenda for the next meeting and a revised program with assignments from our last meeting.
