Presidential Town Hall Meeting Cancellations

Given short notice, this venue is the best place for this making this urgent announcement to our members and supporters. Due to President Jacob's sudden cancellation of the June 17th Town Hall meeting all A&S student/faculty and WMW protest-related events have been cancelled and will be re-planned for the Town Hall meeting still scheduled for July 17th. The four buses will not, repeat, will not be picking up our out-of-town visitors at the scheduled times and locations. Lodging for the overnight participants has been cancelled. Scheduled interviews with the Chronicle, the Times and the Journal have been postponed (contact Missy or Stan for details). The big bonfire and teach-in at the campus wetlands site near Spirit Rock is also cancelled. Those crews assigned to bring firewood are urged to store their lumber is a dry place for a month. Team members preparing picnic boxes for the "long march" are invited to go ahead and prepare the meals anyway, box them up, and deliver them to the Cherry Street Mission. Label them "Lloyd Jacobs, A&S cs/f and WMW" ... . So. What else? The flyover! There will be no fly-over at the designated time above the picket lines. Donations for that event will be held by the treasurer until the following month, to be reserved for the same purpose. Perhaps we can afford two flyovers by then: one before and one following the meeting! About the budget: Looking ahead, pin proceeds from the Dean Campaign will continue to accumulate toward offsetting the costs of the Big September Event. Our third order of pins has finally arrived, with the suggested XXX modifications. End of report: Don't be disappointed by this unexpected change in plans. This is not a defeat but a victory! We all know why the June 17th Town Hall was cancelled! Be sure to anyway turn out for Chancellor Fingerhut's visit and the important public presentation of the A&S-sponsored petition at that time. Let’s follow Penny’s suggestions so eloquently put forth and voted on unanimously at our weekly meeting this past Friday. Let’s “Keep it cool!”
