On November 14th at 7:00pm Larry Gordon is going to be presenting in room BA102 on the Wilfrid Laurier University campus. This event will be hosted by the Laurier Students' Public Interest Research Group, and it would be a good opportunity for people to coordinate with some of the Laurier students and faculty working electoral reform.

<br>coming to speak to the Elementary Teachers of Waterloo Region<br>Representative Council on November 16. I don't know whether this is open<br>to the public/FVC members. Is it?<br> If it is not an open meeting, should we put it on our website?
<br><br> 1. After Prof. Williams' talk a bunch of us were talking about<br>outreach and future events. One idea is to have "Movie nights" where we<br>show (selected?) videos from the plenary sessions.<br>
<br> I think we can arrange some movie nights on the UW campus, but<br>it's important that we have off-campus events as well. Is there interest<br>in maybe having parallel movie nights in different areas of the region? I

<br><br> 3. Derek suggested that we take our talks to the people instead of<br>hoping the people will come to our talks. Following Larry and Shannon's<br>lead, we can make field trips to neighbourhood associations and other
<br>community groups to make FVC presentations. Who wants to help with this?<br>I think the first steps are to have some trainings, polish our<br>presentation skills and speaking points, and then make some connections<br>
