circulated during the past couple of days. I definitely think we should
purchase the maps of our ridings available from Elections Canada. Rick
already volunteered to purchase one of the maps, and I am volunteering now to
purchase a map as well. Any takers on the other two maps?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

a physical headquarters to run an effective campaign. However, I think
Sean’s point is well taken that the greatest need for headquarters will
be in September and October. I have contact with a lot of people who
might know a suitable place through my work for the Region of Waterloo at
Sunnyside Home. I will ask around and see if I can find some space for
the fall.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

week asking if Derek should still be the media contact for the chapter. I
think that the media contact should be one of the new co-chairs. I also
think we are more likely to get interest from the media if Brian is the contact
since he is associated with the university. Brian, would you be willing
to fill that role?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

thanks so much Paul for all of your work to try to organize us in that

I can do that, Paul - no problem. If you can send me the contact<br>
information, I'd be happy to give these folks a shout. <br>

We've been rejected for the
Liberal nomination meeting on<br>
Sunday. <br>
The official excuse was that they are not allowing outside groups to<br>
set<br>
up displays.<br>
<br>
I think e-mail is a poor way to
get people to let us go to<br>
nomination meetings. Unfortunately I do not have a phone number where <br>
people can call me back. Could somebody (or somebodies) with a phone<br>
please volunteer to make some phone calls to these riding presidents?<br>

Hi folks:<br>
<br>
I was wondering for this campaign if we could find a space that we<br>
could use as a headquarters. It would be great to have a place where<br>
we can distribute flyers, maps, etc. to people, and keep track of how <br>
things are going. A place to hang out, and to generate excitement<br>
around the campaign.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Kevin.<br>

Hello Paul,<br>
<br>
I've heard back from Elections Canada <a href="http://www.elections.ca">www.elections.ca</a>
about obtaining maps of <br>
the four electoral districts that we are concerned with: Kitchener Centre,<br>
Kitchener-Waterloo, Kitchener-Conestoga and <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Cambridge</st1:place></st1:City>.<br>
<br>
The best hard-copy maps come in sets for each electoral
district. They<br>
include, as I understand, individual maps of each polling division within a <br>
given electoral district that are highly detailed with roads, streets
etc. The<br>
cost for each complete set for each electoral district is $15.00 plus tax,<br>
bringing the cost to $60.00 plus tax for all four districts. <br>
<br>
Within the context of having some sort of headquarters, I believe these maps<br>
would be essential to the effectiveness of our campaign. Canvassers
and<br>
distribution of literature could be strategically allocated, dispatched and <br>
recorded.<br>
<br>
I, personally, am willing to bear the the cost of purchasing a set of maps for<br>
one electoral district. Anyone else?<br>
<br>
I am not aware that these maps are available electronically. I,
also, will be <br>
on the lookout for potential headquarters sites.<br>
<br>
Peace<br>
<br>
Rick<br>
<br>
