Hi again: We were going to have a debriefing meeting on the
"Perspectives" cancellation this Friday, but Laura Hamilton pointed
out that this is a conversation best had with the entire group at our
next meeting.

So, I've extended the poll to help choose the next date for the
KWPeace Fall 2017 Organizational Potluck Meeting. If you haven't
picked a date, please do so at:

https://kwpeace.ca/yop-poll-archive/poll-date-for-the-fall-2017-organizational-potluck-meeting/

Possible dates are:

    Mon, 16 Oct 2017
    Mon, 23 Oct 2017
    Tue, 24 Oct 2017
    Thu, 26 Oct 2017
    Mon, 30 Oct 2017
    Tue, 31 Oct 2017

If you can't do the poll then let me know, and I'll add a vote for you.
The poll closes next Tuesday, 10 October, when I'll check the
preferred date and send out another message to the list to confirm
that date.

See you all at that potluck meeting!

Thanx,
- --Bob.
