The Rotunda is NOT availble Oct 1st. I have asked for Council Chambers. Hopefully I get a response soon.

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

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...

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.  

Stirling can be an excellent venue for some future event, particularly if Stirling is co-sponsoring the event.  If Stirling is co-sponsoring, then we don’t need separate insurance.

Hi all,

Last I talked with Roger he said the person doing the bookings for City Hall is currently on vacation and hasn't responded to our request. I'm not sure what else to do in that situation but just wait.

Our potluck is scheduled for next week but I'm wondering if it makes more sense to postpone, as the remaining work we have to do is best finalized when we have a confirmed venue and date; we had hoped to get the word out other groups in time for this meeting, which won't feasibly happen if we haven't booked the venue yet.

As we're getting close to the wire, I think it's probably good at this point to have a back-up confirmed so we can move forward and know we at least have somewhere to meet.

What do others think?

Hi everyone, I recall that I was to check to see if St. johns church might be available for our event in October if we could not book City Hall - so, I am wondering if we have City Hall booked?  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!
