OLD BUSINESS – Nothing

NEW BUSINESS – Janice mentioned that Victory Center will send out paid post card. (Jim FYI – I talked with people at Victory Center yesterday and the only mailer they are planning on sending out now is one for Corbett and it is a post card) [JK note: Victory 2010 was offering to let committee members address & sign ‘remember to vote’ cards from the Corbett campaign, for which they’d pay the postage. Nice way for committee people to keep their names in front of their voters at no cost. Several committeepeople took advantage of the offer].

Linda Tyson (Acting Secretary)
