The CPNM Monthly Meeting for November this Wednesday evening at 6:45 MST at the Manzano Mesa Center at 501 Elizabeth St SE in Albuquerque. The highlight of the meeting will be a discussion of the upcoming CP National Committee Meeting (NCM) in Irving, TX near the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. CPNM State Chairman, John Fakes, will be attending this upcoming Meeting on November 16-17, 2018. With 2018 coming to a close it is time for other CPNM members to think about becoming a CP National Committee Member. If you are interested in becoming a NC Member please contact us via the website and we will arrange a meeting with you to discuss the duties and responsibilities of National Committee Members. The dues are $100 per year and we would like to have those people attend as many CP NCM’s as possible. The Meetings are held twice each year in different locations around the country. Three of us attended the Spring 2018 Meeting in Denver, CO in April, and John Fakes, our new State Chairman was introduced at that Meeting and was well received. We will be announcing the date and location for the Spring & Fall 2019 Meetings as they are announced.

Due to the first Wednesday in July being on the 4th, the Manzano Mesa Center will be closed, so our next CPNM Monthly Meeting for the public will be held there on 1 August 2018. Thanks to the great work of Kent Miller we are very close to re-gaining Ballot Access here in New Mexico. We need 2,564 validated petition signatures to regain Ballot Access and we are around 3,300 total acquired so far. We have to turn them in to the Secretary of State’s Office in Santa Fe by 28 June 2018. We will post an update on this petition drive later in the month and also will post an update when we take the completed petitions to the SOS’s Office.

Our CPNM Monthly Meeting for this coming month will be held 6 June 2018 at 6:45 P.M. MDT at the Manzano Mesa Multi-Generational Center at 501 Elizabeth St in SE Albuquerque. They usually assign us to whatever Room is available that night, so check at the front desk when you arrive, or you see us in a Room. Most of the meeting will be focused on our Petition Signature gathering for Ballot Access, which is due in at the Secretary of State’s Office in Santa Fe by June 28, 2018. Kent Miller the State Chairman of CP Arizona has been here helping us the past week, so we will get a report from him on his progress in this project. The meeting should adjourn around 8:15 P. M.
