With regards to the upcoming General Meeting, I would suggest one of the topics for the evening is what can do really soon for peak oil.  Here are a few ideas off the top of my head.

• suggestions for showing movies to friends and family
• read PPO's Principles of Preparedness
• take an energy audit of your current life style -  http://www.portlandpeakoil.org/resources/energyuse.xls
• take some permaculture courses
• take some gardening courses
• get to know your neighbors
• get prepared for the typical hosts of big problems (earthquake, flood, long power outage, locusts ....)
  
• get involved with your neigbhorhood association
  
• all the emotional issues associated with this can of worms.
• evaluating transportation
  

 Any other suggestions?
