From pnijjar at sdf.lonestar.org Sat Jun 9 22:44:40 2007 From: pnijjar at sdf.lonestar.org (Paul Nijjar) Date: Sat, 9 Jun 2007 22:44:40 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [fvc-wat-announce] Information Night Tuesday (also: meeting! festivals!) Message-ID: Hey la, hey la, Information night is back. This Tuesday evening we'll have an information session which will discuss our current voting system and the alternative proposed in this October's referendum. These information nights are intended for the general public -- please do not feel intimidated because you don't "know enough". This is a good opportunity for you to strengthen your understanding about the voting systems up for consideration, or to introduce those around you to the issues at stake. As usual, this information night will be held at 7pm at the Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work, in downtown Kitchener behind City Hall. Before the information session (at 6pm) we will also be holding a volunteer meeting, to catch up on the many things that have happened over the past two weeks and to prepare further for the campaign. If you are interested in helping out (there's lots to be done!) please join us. (You can, of course, come to both the volunteer meeting and information night, or just go to one gathering.) This will also be happening at the Faculty of Social Work. In addition to these meetings we are making some public appearances. In the next couple of weeks, we will have a booth set up at both the Non-Violence Festival on June 16 (http://nonviolencefestival.com) and the Multicultural Festival on June 23 and 24 (http://www.kwmc.on.ca/html/festival.html). Come by our booth and say hello! (We could use volunteers to staff these events too -- send me an e-mail if you are interested in helping out.) - Paul -- Paul Nijjar - http://www.fairvotecanada.org/WaterlooRegion Next electoral reform info night: Tuesday June 12, 7pm From pnijjar at sdf.lonestar.org Fri Jun 22 21:12:30 2007 From: pnijjar at sdf.lonestar.org (Paul Nijjar) Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 21:12:30 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [fvc-wat-announce] Meeting Tuesday Message-ID: This is a quick reminder that our next volunteer meeting will be this Tuesday (June 26) at the Faculty of Social Work building, 120 Duke Street behind City Hall in Kitchener. We are still working through outreach activities (particularly to community groups and at festivals) and can use lots of help to help strengthen our presence. The meeting begins at 7pm. One of those festivals is the Multicultural Festival this weekend. If you're attending, drop by and say hello, pick up some literature, and show your friends/family our booth so they can learn about the referendum too. - Paul -- Paul Nijjar - http://www.fairvotecanada.org/WaterlooRegion Next electoral reform info night: Tuesday July 10, 7pm
