[fvc-wat-disc] update

[Anita Nickerson]

Hey everyone! There's no webinar on the 16th from me... There is Fair Vote
Toronto webinar - is that what you mean? It's Dennis Pilon as a guest
speaker. He's always good!

John Baumann in Toronto: more details on Toronto group’s webinar topics.
These are upcoming events (not past). Goal to animate/stimulate TO
volunteers. Denis Pilon will be first guest (one of Canada’s most respected
political scientists and a strong PR champion). Topic: Friends & Enemies:
Who wants PR in Canada and why Sept. 16 @ 7 pm EASTERN).
