Mechistas gathered together at Balboa's Centro Cultural de la Raza, Saturday, November 21st 2009 for the comeback meeting of MEChA Central. The Mechistas that gathered there had a chance to talk about the importance of this meetings and why they should be held often. Some of the reasons given where:
- to establish communication between the different chapters of Mecha
- for support
- involvement with activities from different chapters
- to understand that what happens in the community has an impact on all communities
An agreement was made among the Mechistas present that day that it was important to have the meetings often and the plan was set as follows:
- meetings will be held once a month
- the dates aren't exact but will be set for the third Saturday of every month
- time will be at noon
- Chapters will take turns hosting the meetings
because we know that some third Saturdays are already scheduled for an event there will be some months were the meeting might be held on a different date, but for the most part the Mechistas are asked to please schedule future events around the third Saturday of every month so that the meetings can work out as planned.
Some the upcoming events that were brought up on this meeting:
- SDSU protest Nov. 23
- Statewide Conference at Pasadena City College in the spring
- National Conference in Seattle, Washington mid 2010
The next San Diego Meeting will be held in less than a month due to the winter break.
Next Meeting: Sunday, December 6th @ 12pm in CSU San Marcos
