I believe Krishna has the figures, which I don’t recall, but several thousand less than we had budgeted for Billy Bragg.

Is this a proposal to provide funding in support of Riley?  If so, how much?

Hello everyone,

The entertainment sub-committee explored many options and reached the following decision:

The 1919 committee will co-sponsor the CCPA Boots Riley event on Saturday evening. Registrants will have time to attend both the Riley event and the Labour Temple social.

For Friday night, the conference schedule will provide a list of local events, venues, and restaurants people can go to on their own. We decided this based on the lack of time to organize something worthwhile and with the conference schedule already packed as it is we decided to give people the chance to do whatever it is they want to do.

Unless a majority of the committee objects before Friday 4:00 PM, we will proceed with contacting the CCPA so that our conference logo can be included on the ads for the event that are going out on Monday.

We will also ask the CCPA to set aside a number of reduced-price tickets for conference attendees, and contact registrants to act quickly to get a ticket.
