I just spoke to Adam – update on our end:

Alex Smith has rolled Kim into the tour of HQ tomorrow. Adam is going to
follow back up with Kim – he is available to both meet with her and attend
her volunteer get together on Friday evening.

Thanks!

Denis, want to accommodate  this at least for tomorrow? Brynne can you
reach out to Kim? This is a group of super volunteers and delegates who
have kept themselves organized since 08.

Dear Mr. Podesta,

John West here, the gentleman and his husband who had the honor to drive
you to O'hare after the Chicago finance committee meeting.

Wanted to thank you for the picture and conversation regarding some of our
grass roots efforts by many long time Hillary Supporters - many who were
2008 delegate that have been corralled into one very organized Facebook
Group and contact list by Kim Frederick, from Houston, Texas.

Kim Frederick also had wonderful ideas for the QR code and for assigning
merchandise I.D's to lower dollar fund raisers to encourage folks to take
part in promoting sales which I shared at the meeting and in the packet I
shared with you.  She's a Hill Starter and has raised $11,000 to date and
has a local Houston fundraiser this evening as well as been a big help in
assisting the Texas Field Organizer on identifying key strategically
located folks for helping with setting up organizing events throughout the
massive state of Texas. Beyond Texas, she has been key in getting the top
volunteers in contact with field organizers throughout the country and
providing a forum for both field organizers and super volunteers to
coordinate and exchange information efficiently.

I have an* urgent request I was wondering if you could help with**.*  Kim
Frederick will be in NY for work from tomorrow night through Sunday and
being a leader and organizer of 50 states worth of very capable, motivated
and experienced grass roots organizers - I was hoping she could get an
invite for one of the events in New York as well as an audience with
someone to discuss how best to utilize this amazing resource of folks she
has assembled and keeps organized and engaged. It appears Adam will be
travelling at that time - and they will be missing one another
unfortunately.  Kim has even organized a 50 person super volunteer get
together at 6 p.m Friday evening at O'Reilly's Bar and Kitchen while she is
in town.

I can attest to Kim's long time dedication and hard work already. She was a
state level delegate in 2007 and is involved heavily in organizing in Texas
for the Democratic Party.  It would be really helpful to the grass roots
effort and really energize folks to see one of their own have some audience
and a photo op. IT's also her birthday so I can't help but feel compelled
to at least send a hail Mary email. Anything would help to make sure there
isn't a wasted opportunity with her business trip to New York (at someone
else's expense!)
