[KWPeace-groups] CANCELLED: Perspectives On Peace on Sat, 30 Sept 2017

[Bob Jonkman]

Hello group organizers in KWPeace: I have some sad news.

Due to low registration numbers and the unavailability of some speakers,
the KWPeace symposium "Perspectives On Peace: Peace In Our Community"
has been canceled.

Unfortunately, based on the number of bookings, we would not have
received enough donations to cover the cost of the hall rental,
advertising, and other expenses. Even with the (partial) refund of the
hall rental we still have a loss of about $300. We've received some
offers of financial support, but still need to raise some money to cover
the expenses.

My apologies for the lateness of this decision. It was recommended at
the organizational meeting held yesterday evening, and confirmed this
morning when the venue allowed us to cancel.

The organizing committee will be meeting next week Wednesday or Friday
to debrief, and figure out how we proceed. Everyone is welcome to join
us; please confirm with me <bobjonkman at kwpeace.ca>, and let me know if
you'd prefer Wednesday or Friday, 7:00pm at the Queen Street Commons Cafe.

Thank you to all those groups and people who offered to staff an
information table at this event. And thank you with apologies to all
those who registered to attend what would have been an awesome event.
