The Mission: Inform, Educate and Activate on and thru the Issue. The objective of the WaB is to establish a regular opportunity for networking or just getting out and away from the sick-bed for Medical Cannabis patients, their family & friends and like-minded people. At the same time it gives the Public a chance to come and mingle with members of the medical cannabis community and see that (a) their medicine is not evil and dangerous making them so and thus (b) they’re not monsters out to get their children.   A Strategy item: is to do this same place, same time every year so folks know when and where to find us and can plan accordingly. This will happen every year on the last week-end in April, so if you miss this years there's always the next.   Goal: to be just another node of the MERCY Event Network. MERCY is donating resources to help establish e-mail lists, phone-trees and other lines of communications dedicated to this action item - and anything remotely similar - in the region and beyond.   Have your own, and let us know!   Check our Calendar for others we're aware of.   Other items on the Agenda: Legislative and Action items, changes to the Program - good, bad and otherwise.  Activists plan next steps, local nad national. We will be updating our members and attending public with current status, and actions items surrounding the issues effecting the medical cannabis community.   We will be registering voters, distributing literature and networking ideas. LTE. Need to keep up LTE's and generally promoting the needs expressed in the law.   Also communicate to legislator in anticipation of upcoming action by prohibitionists and/or their lackey tools. Another goal of the event is also to service: People seeking to join the OMMP or public wanting general info, usually for a friend or family member. Patients and CareGivers wanting to network.  This is being planned in conjunction with other meetings and other lines of communication for the OOMPAH. (add link to meeting network and bulliten boards) Activists exchanging information and resources. See our Current Events page for other happenings.
