Minutes of the June 13, 2009 meeting of the Framingham DTC
——————————————————————————————-
Chair Rochelle Sivan called a very short business meeting to order at 2:15 on June 13, 2009.

Nine members were present. Elsa Avisa gave a treasurer’s report.

Beverly Hugo reported on the State Democratic Youth Convention of June 6.

Kate Donaghue summarized the State Democratic Convention activity: the convention passed an amended platform.
The rules committee reduced signatures required for platform issues from 500 to 250.
The charter was amended to include people with disabilities.
The convention passed a resolution against slot machines.

One attendee noted this is the weakest platform ever–that 90% of Republicans could support this platform.

The business meeting was adjourned to begin the summer barbecue with Michael Dukakis guest speaker.
