[fvc-wat-disc] [fvc-wat-announce] FairvoteWRC AGM, 7pm Wed 24 Apr 2019 at Bread & Roses Community Room

Thu Apr 25 19:44:58 EDT 2019

My regrets I was unable to attend last nights meeting.

I remain committed to Fair Vote Canada Waterloo Region, and it is my
intention to attend the next monthly meeting. I have the meetings scheduled
in my day book for the last Wednesday of the month.
Sincerely, Myron Steinman
