[KWPeace-groups] location for October 1st

[Emily Mininger]

Alright so potluck next week is still a go.

Sounds like Stirling isn't going to work out well, if we need our own event
insurance. I think it's a good idea to contact St. John's as a back up- at
this point we really need to solidify the date. Hopefully city hall will
get back to us soon...
