[fvc-wat-disc] Make Every Vote Count Day of Action - Tuesday, December 13th

[Sharon Sommerville]

Hi Dave,

I would still send the card to Bardish's office in Ottawa.

There have been some great ideas on the FVCchapters forum.  Someone
suggested a Christmas tree with AIWFCIPR, figure they meant cardboard so I
will make a large, green Christmas tree with the message on it.  Carols
were also suggested, how about: We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you
a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and PR in 2017.  Any other
PR versions of popular Christmas songs? Could you lead us in the Caroling?
We should also have some tabloids available.  Can anyone print up some
extra Christmas cards to hand out on the street as well as the tabloids?

I am going to try and get an hour and a half off to be there.  Who would
like to be apart of the delegation that delivers the promise.  We should
all sign the back of the promise.

Any fun, colourful sign or placards would helpful to make our presence
known and have fun.  Can folks make some great signs and placards?

Cheers,
Sharon
