Summary

Fundraiser. We're mostly set with logistics, with the notable exception of food. Will circle back to food after the 4/29 signature gathering deadline.

Signature Gathering. Planning a signature push this weekend, to help Joe get on the ballot. Bellingham has the highest density, and the most food traffic. If you do door-to-door in Bellingham, you need to register with police dept. first.

Article 7 of Bellingham bylaws talks about door-to-door solicitation. Appears that it only applies to salespeople, and there's a specific exemption for political campaigns (114-7).

Meet at Joe's place @ 11:00am.
