Laurel from the Coordinated Campaign will be conduction a training for using the voter file to recruit volunteers and to make voter contacts from home. We would like to get as many precinct teams, and other interested volunteers there as possible.

Wednesday, July 7, at 6:30pm
Wright Building
2233 University Ave W, Suite 342

If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to Laurel with your full name and address so that she can have an account ready for you. You may rsvp up to the morning of the 7th.

What possibly be more fun than your precinct caucus? Entering data from all caucus attendees, of course! Especially this year. Instead of asking you to do this at home alone, we are inviting everyone who can help with data entry to join us on Saturday, 6 February, for a Data Party. We’re taking over SEIU Healthcare offices for an afternoon so we can blow through the whole data entry in one day. Pizza and drinks will be provided. All we need is you! If you have a wifi capable laptop, please bring that as well.

Join SD64 as we continue Project ID. Get together with friends, eat pizza, and make a few phone calls. Whether you’re a complete newcomer to phone banking, or an old hand, this will be a great event. We’re calling people to give them information about a non-partisan event, so people are verry friendly. See you there!

Our next Project ID phonebank will be on Tuesday, June 9th from 5:30 to 8:30 pm at the SEIU State Council office (2233 University Avenue). Please RSVP to Rick Varco treasurer@sd64dfl.org if you can help out at the phonebank.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to call 20 unidentified voters.   If you have not done so already, please drop your lists off with Eric Celeste at 1993 Lincoln Ave.  These lists “expire” so we need to get them back BEFORE our meeting on Wed, August 20th.

The Data Management group meets Tuesday, June 24th at 8 pm at Kat’s house, 570 Laurel Ave Apt. #1. Please rsvp to secretary@sd64dfl.org if you can attend. Agenda includes Project ID data entry, caucus data entry, and ongoing tasks.

Our second Data Management meeting will be on Tuesday, June 3rd 10th at 8:00 pm at 570 Laurel Ave #1 (Kat’s house). We will be working on the results of the May 31st Project ID kickoff, among other data projects. Please join us, and RSVP to secretary@sd64dfl.org.

UPDATE: The Data Management Working Group members who were present at the Project ID kickoff today all expressed heavy interest in attending Tuesday’s 7 pm Barak Obama rally at the Xcel Center.  Since this means turnout at Tuesday’s Data Management meeting would be very low, I am therefore canceling it. Our next meeting will most likely be Tuesday the 10th at 8 pm, at 570 Laurel Ave #1.  Please let me know if you have a problem with this time- it isn’t set in stone yet!

The first meeting for the SD 64 Data Management working group will be Tuesday, May 20th at 8 pm, at the DFL Coordinated Campaign offices at:

Wright Building
2233 University Ave., Suite 342
Saint Paul, MN 55114.

The building is a few blocks west of University and Vandalia.

At the meeting, we’ll talk about how the working group will work, what we need to do to get ready for Project ID, and what people would like to see happen with the group moving forward. We will also, inevitably, be discussing the VAN database and how we’ll utilize it.

If you’re interested in being a part of the Data Management working group, please let me know, or show up at our meeting. We’ve got a lot of work to do this summer supporting Project ID and our other Senate District initiatives. We’d love to have anyone join us who has an interest in working with entering the data from our events, pulling and managing the lists, and basically figuring out how we’re going to know who we have to contact and who we have contacted. If you’ve never done data management before, that’s all right- we’d love to teach you.
