[fvc-wat-disc] Next Events/Website/Archives

[Paul Nijjar]

	0. As you saw in Shannon's e-mail to the list, Larry Gordon is
coming to speak to the Elementary Teachers of Waterloo Region
Representative Council on November 16. I don't know whether this is open
to the public/FVC members. Is it?
	If it is not an open meeting, should we put it on our website?

	1. After Prof. Williams' talk a bunch of us were talking about
outreach and future events. One idea is to have "Movie nights" where we
show (selected?) videos from the plenary sessions.

	I think we can arrange some movie nights on the UW campus, but
it's important that we have off-campus events as well. Is there interest
in maybe having parallel movie nights in different areas of the region? I
am thinking: UW, downtown Kitchener, Cambridge. Would anybody be willing
to help organize this?

	2. I have added a few pages to the Waterloo Region website:
http://www.fairvotecanada.org/wat_possible_activities
http://www.fairvotecanada.org/wat_local_media_coverage

	The first page is a transcription from Craig's AGM notes last
April. The second wants to be a listing of all the media coverage about
fair voting in the region -- both positive and negative.

	I need your help. Does anybody have articles and/or citations for
articles that we can add to this list? I know about Derek's letter to the
editor and the editorial last Saturday, and will be adding them to the
archive next week.

	Has anybody been keeping a clipping archive? If so, maybe we could
make photocopies of those articles so that the chapter has a collection.

	3. Derek suggested that we take our talks to the people instead of
hoping the people will come to our talks. Following Larry and Shannon's
lead, we can make field trips to neighbourhood associations and other
community groups to make FVC presentations. Who wants to help with this?
I think the first steps are to have some trainings, polish our
presentation skills and speaking points, and then make some connections
and infiltrate the region.
