[SIZE=+1][ Map | Bulletin Board | Feed Back | go to Calendar | go to Bottom ] [/SIZE] A Mission of MERCY; Public Meet Ups. One of the missions of MERCY is to establish regular get-togethers in each community where the are (or will be!) medical cannabis patients. The purpose is to get patients networking and self-sufficient within their neighborhoods, assist those seeking information about the OMMP - but - especially to establish consistent, independent and free lines of communication for patients, caregivers and activists. The goal is to get reps from other meeting groups coming to exchange action items of interest to individuals, the group or other visiting reps, as well as sending our rep to their meetings. A network - a chain - of meetings up and down I-5 and across the state working in conjunction with e-mail lists and bulliten boards.

A group of Card-Holders is attempting to meet on a regular basis in the Sweet Home area. A Meet Up has been arranged by MERCY associate Dorothy Westofkansas at the American Legion Building, 1127 Long Street, Sweet Home, Oregon for July 2nd, 2007 starting at 7pm. The purpose is to establish a regular networking of Patients, Caregivers and Interested Parties in the area. MERCY is donating resources to help establish e-mail lists, phone-tress and other lines of communications dedicated to folks and issues local to the area.
It is a public meeting and there is no medicating or open exchange of resources at the site at this time. If resources available, places and times to exchange will be networked as can. Call 503.363-4588 for more info on this matter.
They happen every first Monday of the month. The next ones are scheduled for August 6th, and October 1st. All meets start at 7pm. NOTE: No Sweet Meet September 3rd, Enjoy the Labor Holi-Daze.

Activists are constantly on the look-out for someplace public to meet and assist non-cardholders get with the program as well as some place to privately exchange patient resources. Until then we conduct "private" activity in such places as parking lots and state parks - like in the bad old days.

This is where we basically take the Monthly Meeting on the road. We deal with the public out front (booth) and try to maintain facilities for patients to medicate (ie- tent, etc.).
Other potential sources for medicine > ie- OGF and OOMPAH, BB and Toolshed
objv: to link the BB's - and other lines of comm for those concerned with med can in Oregon - together. We do this in a manner that empowers people to establish their own, like within their neighborhood, and link up with the appropriate relative networks.
Other items on the Agenda:
2005 Legislative Session, Wake and WAKE UP call. Activists plan next steps. For more for details visit:
We will be updating our members and attending public with current status, and actions items surrounding the issues effecting the medical cannabis community. We will be registering voters, distributing literature and networking ideas.
LTE. Need to keep up LTE's and generally promoting the needs expressed in the law. Also communicate to legislator in anticipation of upcoming action by prohibitionists and/or their lackey tools.
The goal of the meetings is also to service:
People seeking to join the OMMP or public wanting general info, usually for a friend or family member.
Patients and CareGivers wanting to network. This is being planned in conjunction with other meetings and other lines of communication for the OOMPAH. (add link to meeting network and bulliten boards)
Activists exchanging information and resources.

I wish to Hell and back that we had a group like this in WA.
