<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Fair Vote supporters! Tomorrow evening (Friday)
is our Democracy Cafe. Come out to share your thoughts and opinions on politics
and democracy, and talk with others about how to create the democracy we
want! If you've never attended an event using a "conversation cafe" format,
don't worry! There will be instruction cards on the table and a facilitator to
guide us. Conversation cafe is a simple structure that encourages taking turns
listening to each other part of the time, and free conversation during other
parts, in small groups. It's a great way to meet and learn from some neat
people, and chat with some familiar ones, about how to make our democracy work
for us. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The cafe is a partnership between CAPP Waterloo,
Fair Vote Waterloo, and Unitarian Congregation of Waterloo. If you are of a
different faith, or none, don't be concerned that the cafe is co-hosted by
Unitarians. Unitarians are not religious in the traditional sense of the word
and not out to "convert" anyone - I would describe them as
more intellectual, interested in discussing ideas and very active in social
justice. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The evening will start with the facilitator
interviewing a panel consisting of someone from CAPP, Fair Vote, and Transition
KW about how they would like to make democracy better and what they are doing to
make it happen (in short, to share their passion) as a springboard for
discussion.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>And of course, you can't miss coffee and my
chewy chocolate chip cookies, which actually did not burn! If my luck keeps
up, there will be oatmeal cookies, too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hope to see you tomorrow (details pasted below).
Thank you for being part of the first annual Democracy Week in
Kitchener-Waterloo! I appreciate each of you who support us.</FONT></DIV>

<P>Join us for an interactive evening focused on learning from each other as we
find ways to improve our Canadian democracy. </P>
<P>The evening will begin with a panel of 3 local people from CAPP, Fair Vote,
and Transition K-W, who are already active in nurturing political change, to
speak briefly (10 minutes each) on ‘What are you doing, or wanting to see happen
in terms of political institution/democratic reform, and why?'</P>
<P>Then, in groups of 7-8 people, we will all share our thinking and feelings in
response to this question in Conversation Café format. <A class=ext
