[fvc-wat-disc] Guelph Meeting Planning

[Lenna Titizian]

Hey,

I've done a lot of volunteer work in Guelph, namely with the Guelph Jazz
Festival, the Guelph International Film Festival, and the Guelph
International Resource Centre.  The only thing is that none of those have an
actual mailing list set up, nor any sort of key contact person off-season...
However, if you did put together a press release and sent it along to me, I
wouldn't mind sending it out to those contacts in a mass e-mail...I think it
would just seem less spammy being sent out that way.  I could BCC you in.
Among those contacts, then, I can almost guarantee that it would propagate
across a huge network of Guelphites...

- Lenna
