From skern at netptc.net Wed Feb 4 16:37:25 2009 From: skern at netptc.net (Sue Kern) Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2009 16:37:25 -0800 Subject: [FFCF-Fundraising] COS event in Visalia Message-ID: <380-2200924503725578@netptc.net> Hi Rych, I misplaced your original e-mail on this and just found it. You said the event is ACT Coming Out for Justice Event March 7th COS Campus $25 fee, 12 AM to 5 PM. I think that's what I attended last year and there were a lot of people there. Can you either send me the materials you received or just sign us up and I'll make sure someone attends? I think I can do it and I can ask for others. We may be able to make contacts for a housemeeting there in conjunction with this. Thanks. Also, are you the one in touch with Aaron Glanz in relation to a possible appearance here (with or without Mark M. or Eileen A.)? I'd like to put this on the agenda for next week's fundraising/outreach meeting so we can do some quick follow-up and get this scheduled as a fundraiser for the news stringer project.
