- Come to a WC Meeting and find out more. The RNC Welcoming Committee’s meetings are open to anyone who agrees to our Points of Unity. Meetings are EVERY SUNDAY, alternating 1:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., at our beautiful convergence center, 627 Smith Ave. in St. Paul. Check the calendar in our sidebar to see where we’re at in the rotation, or email rnc08 (a) riseup.net. Please note that we try to arrange childcare for all meetings, but would appreciate a heads up if you plan to bring kids, so that we can guarantee appropriate accommodations.
We DO NOT allow members of the Media, acting in that capacity, to attend WC meetings. If you are a member of the Media, looking for info on the WC, please see our “Media FAQ. “
