June Council of Clubs Meeting
Thanks to everyone who filled out the Doodle poll. It looks like the best course is to move our June meeting to Sunday the 27th at 10am so as not to conflict with Juneteenth events during our regular meeting date/time. More info forthcoming.

May 15th Meeting Review
This month, San Diego County Democratic Party Executive Director, Ryan Hurd, presented about finance fundamentals for Democratic clubs.
A lot of clubs and new club leaders have reached out for assistance and have questions on this topic, so I hope you found this as helpful and informative as I did.

We were also joined by the amazing Judy Ki, founder of the AAPI Democratic Club, for AAPI Heritage Month.
She gave a presentation adapted from one she gave at an event for the League of Women Voters on the intersection of racism against AAPIs and misogyny!

Women of Color Roar Virtual Breakfast:
June 19th, 2021, 7:30 AM - 9:30 AM
The Women of Color Roar Breakfast began in 2018 with the mission to celebrate African American elected officials and encourage young women of color to run for office and pursue careers in public service.
In the past three years twelve hundred community members of all racial and ethnic groups have come together the first Saturday in Black History month to honor women leaders in our community. We have sponsored over 300 high school and college age young women, “Future Leaders,” to attend as our special guests. This unique event provided the young women with the opportunity to be surrounded by women in leadership and exposed them to great role models. The Women of Color Roar breakfast was a transformative experience for them.
“Sheroes Rise” is the theme of our Women of Color Roar 2021 program and we are bringing the celebration to the world-wide web. For our fourth annual convening, Saturday, June 19, 2021, (Juneteenth) we are planning a special presentation honoring BlWOC leaders; past, present and future. A virtual celebration has offered the opportunity to include women from all over the country and produce a dynamic multi-media extravaganza. (womenofcolorroar.com)

LinkTree: Council of Clubs Links and Resources
Check out top links and resources at https://linktr.ee/demclubs.
LinkTree (linktr.ee), (as well as alternatives like Link.bio), is a great way to put all of your important links in one place — like a website, but simpler.
It’s used frequently for social media, especially for Instagram which doesn’t allow links in posts. You can put your club website on your LinkTree/Linkin.bio as well as links to articles or other sources to make it easy for people looking at your posts to find the article/link you’re talking about.
Recurring Zoom Links for Club Meetings
Reminder:
The Club or Coalition shall meet individually at least once quarterly and for all endorsement votes and all meeting dates, times, and locations shall be provided to the SDCDP at least fourteen (14) days prior to the meeting for publication on the SDCDP website. A copy of the notice, agenda, and minutes for business meetings or endorsement meetings shall be supplied via email to the Director of Clubs and the SDCDP.
We’d like to encourage everyone to use a recurring Zoom meeting link for your club so we can add the link in the Party Calendar, which is easier than updating it once a month with a new link.
You can have a recurring meeting and still require registration (if desired), and either automatically or manually approve registrations. You can have them register for each meeting, or once for all meetings where they can use the same personal link every month.
You can still extract attendance records, as Zoom provides a report per meeting.
We used this method all of 2020 for the Council of Clubs and Club Development Committee meetings, and it has worked well. If you need help setting this up, please reach out for assistance.
Party Calendar
If you provided a Gmail address when re-chartering, you are able to edit your club’s meeting entries on the Party Calendar, on which the club is setup with a recurring meeting. You can edit just one occurrence, or the complete series. You can add details of the agenda to each meeting, or change the date and time as required. If you need help, please reach out for assistance.
And as a reminder, if you change your meeting date, time, or location (Zoom link), you must update the calendar item yourself, or email calendar@sddemocrats.org so SDCDP staff can do it.
If you don’t yet have access to edit your club’s Google calendar item, please email calendar@sddemocrats.org and provide the email address you want to use so SDCDP staff can assist you.
