[fvc-wat-disc] [fvc-wat-announce] Strategy Meeting on Thursday, 10 November 2016 at 7:00pm in Sharon Sommerville's dining room

[Dave Arthur]

I wish I could be there but have a rehearsal for our concert coming up soon.
Keep me informed of the discussion.
I assume all Canadians are getting this postcard from their MPs asking for 
input.
I suspect that many won't bother to answer it but I hope all who support 
reform and PR will.
