Jenn, I want to tell you as a Liberal, that a Bardish Chagger canvassers and CFUW member, Susan Gray, died of cancer July 28. The memorial service is 10am at St John the Evangelist, 23 Water Street.

I got some more news about library outreach today.<br>
<br>
First, the good news: The Region of Waterloo library (which services<br>
the townships) is potentially interested in having a couple of<br>
electoral reform information sessions. Having only one FVC<br>
representative is okay, but we must be clear about our biases up<br>
front. The timing is towards the end of September, on a Tuesday,<br>
Wednesday, or Thursday. They will get back to me with some potential<br>
dates. The time is likely to be in the evening.<br>
<br>
The format will be approximately the same as the KPL presentation: 45<br>
minutes of presentation followed by 45 minutes of Q&A.<br>
<br>
They are interested in having one presentation in Elmira (!) and one<br>
in New Hamburg. I offered our services to other branches but I do not<br>
think they are interested.<br>
<br>
Do we have some people who are willing/able to do these information<br>
sessions? Transportation is going to be an issue for some of us, I<br>
fear. In the worst case I might be able to do something, but<br>
transportation will definitely be an issue for me.<br>
<br>
<br>
Next, the bad news: the Idea Exchange (aka Cambridge library system)<br>
is not interested.<br>
<br>
I have also contacted the WPL but have not heard back from them.<br>
