Personally, I have been helping design social media graphics, signs, etc for anyone who is in need of help or advice. Additionally, I have been assisting affiliates and candidates across the nation and in other countries as well who are seeking to build a following in order to grow the Libertarian movement.
Hillsborough:
Our August 21 US Congressional Meet the Candidate event with Nathaniel Snyder turned out to be very productive. The LP Geezers are a group of men who were some of the original Libertarians in the Tampa Bay Area. They became disengaged for a while due to how the prior affiliate operated, but have been very supportive of the work we are doing in Hillsborough County. We held a successful fundraiser/meet & greet with Snyder at Four Green Fields in Tampa.
Our Sunday, August 25 event with Mike ter Maat & Nathaniel Snyder was well attended. We made some inroads with a local Bitcoin group who offered the meeting space to us. Snyder set up the introduction after they had him speak at one of their events.
Consensus to the two motions for the September EC meeting is:
1. Josh made an error by entering into the JFC with RFK, but we do not want him removed as chair.
2. Caryn Ann Harlos has been doing the right thing when it comes to her position on the EC and so we support her not being removed. We also support the Region rep allowing the alternate to vote in his stead in our interests if he is willing to vote to remove Harlos.
Pinellas:
8/23 Sunset social w/Feena Bonoan in Gulfport was successful.
Monthly meetings & social events have continued as normal.

Polk:
I am still working on building connections with the folks who have expressed interest in getting a Polk affiliate up and running to see if we have a team to form an EC.
Pasco:
I have had multiple people reach out and want to be involved from Pasco. At the moment, we do not have a team willing to take up the responsibility of forming a new affiliate. However, I believe this will possibly happen soon after this election cycle is complete.
