 On being compulsive then.....
I think this falls to you, Cathy.
We are returning to our monthly meetings on the last Wednesday of the month at 7 PM?
The 16th of Sept is a webinar from the Toronto chapter of FVC?
Thank you.

 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).

 you're right, David, it would have been Thursday. I forgot about that change.I have asked Anita about the available times and I'll confirm later. I think some of our group had conflicting meetings on the last Thursday, so it might be preferable to go back  to Wednesday if we can.Cathy

 I am fine w the cancellation.  Just a little confused; I had thought we had moved our meetings to Thursdays to ensure access to the FVC zoom tech.  Are we going back to Wednesdays?  

Thanks.

Hello Cathy,

Thank you for the update, invitation to the webinar on Sept. 16th & the suggestion that we should cancel our August meeting.  I am in total agreement that our Aug. meeting should be cancelled and encourage people to attend the Sept. 16th meeting.  Hope that others agree as well.

With thanks,

Sharon

Hi, All

Time has got away on me again, and our usual monthly meeting should be this coming Wednesday the 26th.  Our July meeting was disrupted because I was late opening the meeting.  A few of you joined the meeting and we had an informal conversation.

Since then,

   -  the Non-Violence Day in the Park, where we were planning to have a FV information table, has been cancelled.
   - the meeting of the FV chapter leaders occurred on Aug. 8.  At that meeting Anita announced the webinar which is scheduled for Sept. 16, where  material for campaigning at the chapter level will be presented.  This material focuses on the messaging that,

   -  "a just recovery needs PR" 
   - federal poll results that show popular support for PR and for a Citizens' Assembly to guide electoral reform 
   - improving diversity within FV in order to reach new supporters

Here is the link to the notes from the chapter leaders meeting.

I don't have agenda items for a discussion group meeting for this month.  If anyone has topics we should discuss, please let me know.  Otherwise, I am proposing that we cancel our chapter meeting for this month on the 26th, and that as many of us as possible attend the webinar on Sept. 16th.  I think that the information we gain will give us some new inspiration and ideas for our local campaign efforts and strategies that are supported by the material that is provided.

Cathy
