[KWPeace-groups] location for October 1st

[Sue Klassen]

Hi, Shiv.

The potluck will be this coming Wednesday, August 17, upstairs in the Peace and Justice room at Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church, 27 Stirling Avenue N, Kitchener, from 6 - 8 p.m.

We’ll be connecting over food, then working on plans for an October event to help local peace groups learn more about each other and collaborate.

We’d be delighted if you’re able to join us!  

Sue

Smile, breathe and go slowly.

>> I’ve talked things over with Trisha at Stirling about having Stirling a venue.  We would need to have our own Event Insurance in order to hold it there.  We could not hold it on October 1st—the kitchen renovations are running behind schedule, and are now targeted to be done the end of September.  Trisha has penciled in our event for October 15th as a backup location.  I’m hoping another venue opens up—it’s still possible that kitchen renovations could be further delayed, and we wouldn’t be able to hold the event there in the end.

As I mentioned, if it is available, we should be able to secure it for free as they have an annual grant to cover facilities costs that non-profits can access (but only once a year).  Please let me know, I don't want to bother the church about a booking if we have it sewed up.  Thanks!
