>>>>>>>>>>>> Carols, hand out tabloids and Christmas cards outside her office.  Fun
>>>>>>>>>>>> ideas, colourful signs and placards are encouraged!  If you can take the
>>>>>>>>>>>> time over your lunch hour please join us!
>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>> 6)  Donald Fraser will photoshop the current Liberal
>>>>>>>>>>>> fundraising item, a toque that says:  Real Change to read: Real Betrayal.
>>>>>>>>>>>> If anyone has any ideas on how we can create an actual toque that says:
>>>>>>>>>>>> Real Betrayal in time for Tuesdays rally, please let us know! :)
