[Namron] Dec. 7th populace CANCELLED

[Brad Stanley]

Here is a timeline of the events leading up to the cancellation of  
populace yesterday:

I arrive home at 5:15 pm.  At 5:28 pm, I was called by the Norman  
Public Library announcing they would be closing at 6 pm.  I  
immediately contacted her Excellency with the bad news.  After a 30  
second brainstorming session, I set about to try to secure another  
meeting space.  I was able to make a last minute reservation with the  
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship at 5:37pm, then immediately set  
about contacting the officers to notify them of the new meeting  
facility (two of which informed me they would not be able to make it  
to pop due to the road conditions).  I then started to compose a  
stack of maps and a notice to hang on the door of the library  
notifying those whom could not be contacted.

At 6:10 pm I received a call from his Excellency Ulf.  He had just  
come home from work after a hazardous drive.  After talking with him  
for a bit, I made the decision to cancel populace at 6:13 p.m.  I  
then set about to re-contact the officers and compose the email which  
appeared on the list at 6:21 p.m.

I then set about to find my populace list to start some calls, but  
unfortunately I had left my laptop case (and populace list) at work.   
So unfortunately I could not have contacted anyone but the officership.

The idea of a calling tree is an excellent idea.  I also wish to  
extend an offer to those that want special notification to contact me  
so I can put them on a "priority" list should such a situation occur  
again.

Once again, I apologize for such short notice.  Hopefully we will  
have more advance warning of conditions that might cause  
cancellations like this so we can make a more timely decision.
