Hi Pat
>
>Trying again to send you summary of the library round table
meeting last Wednesday, July 9.
>
>Attending were Andrea Hildebran of Kentucky Fairness Alliance;
Maria Hines; Beth Wilson; Peter Anik of Jewish Federation; John
Scharenberger and his nun sister Sr. Ann (Ursuline); Mark Bouchard;
Kaye and Carl.
>
>The concensus was to hold 5 or 6 round tables starting with
the main library and then at the regional branches, beginning
in September with one or two a month depending upon scheduling
vagaries.
>
>Names mentioned to moderate the kickoff event were Laura Rothstein,
dean at U of L law school and Milton Metz. Names for branch
evenets include David Reichart of Spalding (Kaye's neighbor);
Sam Markison (law professor); Eleanor Jordan and Rev. Roy Fuller
(formerly head of Kyiana Interfaith Community) and Fr. Nick Rice.
>
>Another issue was how to diffuse the impresion of bias with
KCADP hosting the event and Beth Wilson agreed to contact the
woman who runs the Library Association and find out if it could
become a sponsor. Peter Anik alo offered the name of the Jewish
Community Relations Council which, though it is on record against
the death penalty, is not widely known for that position and
would obviously be useful.
>
>In terms of publicity we will have the obvious RC outlets plus
the Jewish Federation, LEO. It was decided that we'll send out
a press release (I assume sometime following our board meeting
at the end of this month) as probably no one would come to a
news conference.
>
>Another publicity issue is how to slug it. Given the ongoing
political fuss over Patton's decision on Kevin Stanford Carl
suggested we'd could attract non-KCADP choir folks by something
like: "What do you think of the Governor's decision to commute
the Kevin Stanford sentence? Join us for a discussion on the
use of the death penalty in Kentucky...." However, Carl also
said we should check out such an approach with Kevin's attorneys.
>
>We (I with your input) will come up with flier possibilities,
press release, newspaper notices, etc. We will also work on
possible revisions in the placemat for this purpose.
>
>I am contacting Dean Rothstein and Milton Metz about the moderator
thing.
>
>See you later.>
