Very nice Jeanne.  It was so good to have you at lunch bunch again.  You are so full of really good information and ideas.  We appreciate you.

  The Lunch Bunch is an informal gathering attended by a varying number of "regulars" who welcome anyone interested to join in the conversation.  Topics vary each week depending on what people want to discus.  At the last meeting there was a small group of 6, but lots to talk about.

  People are encouraged to report anything they may have done that might help "rescue" America.  John Sauer has developed a web site and "2012 Presidental Race Viewpoint Assessment" tool (conservativevoterresearch.webs.com)  which lists the major candidate's views, history of voting records, website and e-mail addresses, etc., and includes a chart ranking them on 13 important issues.

  Jeanne DeSilver reported noting that the Folio "newspaper" gave an address and encouraged their readers to write and threaten Publix with a boycott if they weren't allowed to place copies of the Folio in the entry ways of Publix Grocery Stores.  Jeanne wrote approving and appreciating Publix for their decision not to allow Folio to display their "newspaper" at Publix, and received an encouraging phone call during which she encouraged Publix not to back down.

  Also discussed was the last City Council General Meeting and Mayor Brown's efforts at the reorganization of city departments.  These meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of each month.  There is a procedure to follow allowing attendees to hold the floor, speaking for 3 minutes on any bill on the agenda.  This presents a method to make our voices heard which we could make better use of!

  This is a great non-threatening group for those seeking a way to get involved, or a format to "brainstorm".
