42nd Annual Chicago Pride Parade

The Libertarian Party of Chicago will be handing out copies of the World’s Smallest Political Quiz this Sunday at Chicago’s GLBT Pride Parade. Libertarians believe that we should all be free to be ourselves, and the Quiz is a great way to open peoples’ eyes.

 

We will meet in the Circle K parking lot at Halsted and Addison at 11:30 am, where we will hand out bunches of Quizzes and maps of the parade route.

 

Join us if you can – this one should be fun!

The creation of Chicago LP branch locations

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
