and work with the Budget Committee. GP of CT should evaluate the possible
use of: merchandizing, union-made items; order cards and sustainable giving.

  7.   7-12-07 GPUS Convention in Reading, PA: BB: on 7-4-07 the EC received
an email from Charlie Pillsbury (GPUS rep. from GP of CT) advising that
minutes ago, the GPUS voted to allow more state delegates to the GPUS
Convention in 7 days time. Three more delegates were authorized for CT (in
addition to Tim McKee and Charlie Pillsbury, GP of CT representatives to
GPUS). Due to time constraints, there was no time to call and have an
emergency SCC meeting.  Therefore, the EC members called and e-mailed one
another to elicit names of people who could be the 3 additional delegates.
The EC finally decided to authorize the following people: Cliff Thornton and
S. Michael DeRosa, both of whom are Co-chairpersons of the GP of CT and
Richard Duffee, GP of CT member of the International Committee of GPUS. All
three people attended  and participated in the convention.   Cliff, Mike and
Tim will provide feedback about the convention at the 7-31-07 SCC meeting.
Hopefully, Charlie Pillsbury and Richard Duffee will also do so at the
7-31-07 SCC meeting
