[fvc-wat-disc] Notes from Tuesday's organizing meeting

[Jennifer Ross]

Interesting question.  I thought RealChange won the contest.  But ever
since then, the only one I see them talking about is the snowflake one.

Hopefully, RealChange is there, otherwise Real Betrayal? will be a little
hard to do!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3)  FVC has a website which supports people looking for help

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 4) Send Christmas Cards to Liberal MPs stating, "All I want

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> craft activity for unhappy electoral reformers.  Please send! :)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 5) We agreed to participate in Leadnow's national day of

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bardish Chagger's office, 100 Regina Street South, in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Waterloo to present her with a copy of the Liberal electoral reform

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> us sing 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! :)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Our next meeting is Wednesday, January 11th.  Everyone is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> welcome!
