  • Communications Structure Plan - Mike is looking at a communication plan that could be more centralized and people in Sonoma to give us tips on what we can do better as far as communications is concerned.  We decided that twitter would probably be better than instagram since most of our members tweet.  Mary asked if we could have a link on our website regarding Marijuana laws.  We have non-district contact information for approximately 70% of our members.  We probably have more contact information that Gayle or Ginger can get from the district.
