Hi this is going out just to the UN 69th committee of the UNA Bay Area Council of Organizations (COO). We meet tomorrow, Thursday, at 5:00 pm in the Stebbens Room at the UU Church, Franklin and Geary in SF.
I am delighted to report that Shannon Biggs of the Global Exchange human rights organization has agreed to be our keynote speaker at the Oct. 19th UN 69th Luncheon we are in process of organizing. Shannon is included in our committee subgroup list and will be receiving this email and is welcome to the meeting - tho cannot be expected to make it on such short notice.
We need to confirm her as keynoter. She requests, but does not insist on, a donation of $150 for Global Exchange as her speaker's fee. Seems reasonable to me, but we should discuss.
Also, we need to make a list of organizations to head up tables. By having an organization to provide a topic and lead person for each breakout table, we will be able to fill up the house. I have lost track of how many tables can fit in the Starr King Room. Is it 17 tables of 10 each? Anyone?
See you tomorrow!

And here is the link to the UNA Gender Crosstalk - I hope everyone in the UN 69th committee will participate in the Crosstalk. The Gender Crosstalk idea is, in my view, how we can make our vision of a Bay Area COO that supports the goals of the UN a reality. Please at least take a look.
