Hello friends of liberty!

I am Josiah Neff, the new organizer of this meetup group. Let me first tell you a little about myself and the direction that I am likely to be taking this group. I am also the organizer for the LP Atlanta meetup and also serve as the Director of E-Networking for LP Atlanta. I have been working with LP Atlanta and using our group to promote liberty and grow the party and the party presence within the city of Atlanta. If you're not already with LP Atlanta, we are one of the newest and most active affiliates of the Libertarian Party of Georgia. We just got our start in January of 2009 and have already accomplished quite a bit. We have had booths at Vans Warped Tour and the Atlanta Pride Festival, we've been present at tea party protest and protests of the police raid of the Atlanta Eagle, and we've even had press statements posted on Creative Loafing and other local media. Already in just a year we've accomplished so much, yet we're just getting started. Next year brings another election cycle and lots more work that we can do to promote liberty here in our own city.

Of course, we're not always all work. We always recognize the value of a good opportunity to relax and just socialize with other liberty minded people. So we've decided that we're going to have a holiday party this month to celebrate all that we've accomplished and to just enjoy each others company. The party will be held at the home of our friend Dorothy. To avoid having to charge anyone to attend, we have decided to make the event a potluck. We are all planning on bringing something ourselves but everyone bringing an item of their own will help scale the event to the size of our group, plus it will help us to feed those of different diets. Alcohol is also fine but you will have to bring that yourself as well.
We're looking for items along these lines:
1 Main Entree (meat)
1 Main Entree (non-meat i.e. fish or veggie)
3 Sides (pasta, rice, veggies, etc)
2 or 3 desserts
Paper plates, utensils, cups
Soft drinks (Coke, Sprite, Dr P)

The address of the event is 1061 West Paces Ferry Road, NW, Atlanta, 30327.
If you have any other questions about the event, or need help getting there, you can either contact me here or call me at 770-401-2890.

Join us for the two day Leadership Institute Campaign School.

You are cordially invited by Jay Whitney, leader of the North Fulton Libertarians, to come to a special joint meeting to meet Johns Creek City Councilperson Karen Richardson -- the only current elected Libertarian officeholder in Georgia!

Richardson will be speaking about how libertarians can be elected to non-partisan positions and how libertarians can be effective once elected. Very few people have strong opinions on most local issues, and so learning more about how to get involved at the local level is a great way of making a difference at the grassroots. It is also a great place to start if you ever consider running for office.

One other note: the North Fulton Libertarians are an organized Libertarian Party affiliate, and the Greater Atlanta Libertarian Meetup is not. If you are a member of GALM but live in North Fulton, consider this as an opportunity to get involved with your local LP affiliate.

If you want to attend the meeting but live inside the perimeter, members of the newly organized Libertarian Party of Atlanta will be there to discuss their upcoming activities. (Again, this is a different group from the Greater Atlanta Libertarian Meetup).

Hi everybody:

You are cordially invited to our first post-election event -- a holiday party sponsored by the newly-forming Libertarian Party of Atlanta! (not to be confused with this meetup, the Greater ATL Libertarian Meetup!)

This is the first public event for that group and they would like to have a strong turnout. Since we are guests of their event, RSVPs right now for this group are limited to 10. The RSVP deadline is December 6th, and there is a charge for the event due at your RSVP. If you want to RSVP after the limit or deadline, email me and we'll see what we can do, but there are no guarantees.

Please read below for full details. Hope we'll see you there!

Mike

You are invited to join us for the 1st Annual Libertarian Party of Atlanta Holiday Party!

LP-ATL is just getting off the ground, so this is a great time to network with other Atlanta libertarians and get involved in the very important task of creating a vital, dynamic local party right in the belly of the beast.

There is an RSVP limit although this can be raised if there is strong interest.

Because we will be catering with Manuel's, and we must place the order in advance, you will need to contribute $8 with your RSVP. This will cover a basic spread of light appetizers; you can run an individual tab for dinner and drinks.

We also request that you bring one unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Tots.

Atlanta has a lot of interesting, energetic libertarians, so come and be part!

Hi everybody --

We will be scheduling a Barr volunteer day every Saturday until the election. Please feel free to come when you can. Even if it's only one day for a couple hours, your help is still meaningful. Official hours for the day are 10-4, but feel free to do what you can.

The address to Barr HQ is listed under the location, and you can look at previous meetups if you need a map. You can call HQ for driving directions if you get lost (800.BOB.BARR)

The campaign staff has been really good about taking care of volunteers. Coffee and donuts are always available for breakfast, and really good pizza is always on hand for lunch.

Everyone seems to have a fun time, so come out and join us!
