[fvc-wat-disc] Region of Waterloo library, WPL

[Anita Nickerson]

Are you collecting any feedback from people who attend these library events
to go to ERRE?

As always, if you get stuck for a presenter I'm willing but I have yet to
see your team get stuck for volunteers :)

I have been promoting the dialogues to our mailing list. A big turnout at
those isn't important - it's not like a town hall. More people are nice
because it means more surveys but in this case the quality is just as or
more important.

Sharon will remind me to send out notices about the library events when
they get closer.

Great to see so much going on.

Anita
