[fvc-wat-disc] A Buncha Announcements

[Paul Nijjar]

Here's a bunch of arbitrary announcements and discussion starters.
(Should I post this to the -announce list? Maybe we can get some agenda
items up first.)

KITCHENER MEETING:
         We have the upstairs room at 43 Queen Street South booked for
Thursday the 22nd, from 6:30-8:00pm again. It looks like we won't have a
Working Centre staff person to supervise us, so getting a more
appropriate time may not happen.
         We can also look into getting another space. St. Andrew's
Church has been mentioned as a possibility.

WATERLOO MEETING:
         We have room N1056 booked in the Science Building of Wilfrid
Laurier University on Wed Feb 28, from 7:30pm on.

GREEN PARTY NOMINATION:
         Tony Maas got back to me about his riding's nomination party.
It will be at:

Monday February 26, 2007 commencing at 7 PM
Adult Recreation Complex
185 King Street South, Waterloo (Corner of King and Allen)

         This is beside the Brick Brewery, where Elizabeth May came to
speak. He says we can probably fit a 10-minute presentation on the
agenda, and that we can set up a table.

FEDS CLUB:
         The deadline for filling out the application to be a Federation
of Students club is coming up fast. (I think it's a week.) Who wants to 
help get the paperwork done?

FVC-WAT-MEDIA:
         Eleanor was mentioning that it would be useful to have a source
of fair voting press releases and media coverage so that she could
learn more about the issue and get some inspiration for writing
editorials, letters to the editor, press releases, etc. Derek gets a
bunch of these releases through the Fair Vote Ontario list, but rather
than flooding fvc-wat-disc with these releases we decided to make a
third mailing list, which you can join here:

http://listserv.thinkers.org/mailman/listinfo/fvc-wat-media

         Expect this list to have moderately heavy traffic. It should be
a good resource for those who want to learn more about voting systems
and the kinds of arguments people make for and against it.
