The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

Welcome fellow members of the Libertarian Party Chicago.  This message is the 1st official notice that the Libertarian Party Chicago is planning on creating 4 new branches of the group.  Earlier, many of you voted on your choice for alternate locations for meeting places that better fit your schedule or would be closer to get to.  That being said, the 4 general locations are: The loop, Bucktown/Wicker Park, Jefferson Park/Edison Park, and Edgewater/Rogers Park.

What we are looking for are members to establish these 4 new branch groups to expand the presence of the Libertarian Party of Chicago.  That being said, we need volunteers to fill the following positions for each of the  branches.  Once the group is established, you can hold elections to make changes as you see fit.

1.       President:  to run meetings, help establish the new location and make quarterly contact with main Libertarian Party of Chicago group.

2.      Fundraiser:  Raise funds to help run the group.  We ask that each of the groups consider giving a portion of their funds raised to the main Chicago Libertarian group on a quarterly basis. The amount to be determined by the members of the new group, when funds become available.

3.      Treasurer:  Safe-keeps the funds collected.

4.      Membership:  To increase the number of members that join the LP Chicago and attend the meetings of the new location/group.

5.      Web designer:  Someone who can create and update the new group’s website that will be based off the template of the Chicago Libertarian web page; though personal touches/changes are recommended.

Please reply to this post to indicating which new location you would be interested in becoming an officer for.  I will gather up all posts and messages and get people in touch with each other that have indicated they want to form the branch in the same area.  Please reply by 4/23/2011

Thanks for your participation,

James

The Chicago Libertarian Party Meetup Group

This is a special meetup announcement that is asking for every member to indicate (in their RSVP) what location they live in. We are only asking for general areas and not for addresses. There will be 8 choices to choose from. In your RSVP, please indicate the number first, which will represent the area most convenient for you to attend future meetings and then any other comments you might have.

***Please note that this is not to replace the location of the current monthly business meetings. Rather, this is designed to help the group determine if there is a desire for satellite Libertarian of Chicago groups that would feed into the main group; more of a hub and spoke system.

Here are your choices. Please choose the one that best suits your needs. A follow up meeting announcement will be sent when totals are tallied shortly after February 1st.

1. Lakeview/Lincoln Park/Lincoln Square area
2. Edison Park/Jefferson Park area
3. Rogers Park/Edgewater area
4. North or South Austin/Western Chicago
5. Loop
6. Bridgeport area
7. South West Chicago/Midway area
8. South/South East Chicago

We do realize that the ares available may not be perfect, but we need to start somewhere in this research.

The hope is that if we can get enough people to attend satellite meetings, hopefully at least every other month; we can then have one person act as the representative for that group who can attend the main business meetings at least once a quarter for updates about activities and fund raising.

Thanks in advance for your participation. The information we gather will really help the party to expand and offer better choices for our members in the fight for freedom and liberty.

All ages can attend.

The Chicago Libertarian Party starts its business meetings at 7pm. The business typically takes about an hour to get through, after which we stay around for a couple of hours socializing.

At this meeting we will be discussing the upcoming Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day (IGOLD) event. We will also discuss ballot access of the LP and plans for signature gathering to help get our Illinois LP slate on the ballot for next election.

Feel free to show up any time after 6:00. The business portion of the meeting is open for everyone to attend. Now is a great time to get involved, as we work begin the groundwork for local elections in 2010.

The Lincoln Restaurant is near the intersection of Lincoln, Irving Park and Damen. There is parking, and I believe that the Irving Park brown line station is open again.

Join the America’s Future Foundation on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 from 6:30-8:30 PM to watch the Republican gubernatorial debate live on ABC 7. Enjoy drinks and light snacks with fellow area young conservatives and libertarians as we see where the Republican candidates stand on important Illinois–and national–issues a couple weeks before the primaries.

Following the debate, we’ll have representatives from the campaigns–Republican, Libertarian (that’s us!), and maybe even Democrat–to take your questions. This event will be enlightening to anyone who doesn’t yet know how they’ll vote in February, so consider bringing a friend or two to introduce them our group.

We will be hosting this event at Sullivan’s Steakhouse at 415 Dearborn in Chicago. You may RSVP by replying to richard@americasfuture.org. Plan to stick around after the event for food and continued discussion with AFFers at a location nearby.
