Delegation Bulletin #9: Bill Time

We're back to our regularly scheduled meeting time/location tomorrow - 6pm in the Board Room. Now that it's getting darker earlier (and in case the weather ever cools down and/or rains), everyone should use the V Street entrance rather than entering through the upper Y building and going through the field in the dark. The street address for that building is 1926 V Street. It is just east of the train tracks, between 19th and 21st Street.

We're all bill work, all the time until Bill Hearing Night on November 6.

Bill Sponsors and their groups should be able to complete this information at the end of this email by the time they arrive at the meeting tomorrow (or darn close!)

Calendar:
October 23: Regular Meeting - Bill Drafts & Supporting Materials due
October 30: Practice Bill Hearing Night (Mandatory); Conference preparation
November 6: BILL HEARING NIGHT! (At Sacramento City Hall; MANDATORY)
November 9-11: Training & Elections Conference I!
