This notice is the official call for the ward conventions and the Minneapolis City Convention. The City Convention’s agenda includes endorsing candidates for municipal office, electing Party officers, and consideration of the Party constitution.

You are receiving this notice because you were elected as a delegate or an alternate at your precinct caucus in March 2005. If you have moved out of the precinct that elected you in March to another precinct in Minneapolis, then you can still participate in your new precinct as the last alternate.

The ward conventions will occur at the times and places that appear in the accompanying schedule. For information about a particular convention, please contact the officer or senate-district chair who is listed as the contact for that ward.

Each ward elects two delegates, one female and one male, to each pre-City Convention Committee. These committees (Arrangements, Credentials, Nominating, and Rules) will meet on Monday 2 May at 6:30 p.m. in the Jury Assembly Room, Hennepin County Government Center, 300 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis.

Access; parking. Melby Hall is within walking distance of either the Franklin Avenue or the Cedar-Riverside light-rail stations, and on MetroTransit bus routes 2, 7, 16, & 50. A limited amount of parking is available in nearby ramps. Please arrive early for good parking.

Accessibility; accommodations. These sites are accessible to persons with disabilities. Please contact the Affirmative Action Officer, Mary Whitney (ph. 612.721.2048, e/m sunny@pressenter.com), if you need any auditory or visual aids, an interpreter, or any other special accommodation or arrangement.

Child care. We have not arranged for formal child care at the City Convention. However, we will designate a special child-friendly area, supervised by volunteers. If you can volunteer for a shift supervising, or know someone else who can volunteer, please let us know.

Special requirements. If you have any special dietary or medical requirements, please bring with you what you need.
