[Iswg3906.organizers] 6 Nations Bridge Building

[A.R.J. Gracey]

Hi all:

I have no problem with utilizing the car share for this purpose. Sorry
about not being able to drive. Chelsea told me I need an Ontario licence
with a G-class which is apparently a bit of work to get and I haven't had
the time or money to pull it off.

Good luck. I think this is exactly the kind of work we intended when this
group was formed. Organizing is no easy task for sure.

At some point down the line I'm wondering if folks would be okay with
discussing this issue in more depth and perhaps writing a piece for the
union newspaper (and other publications). I'd really like the local to hear
about this, the work being done, and the reasons for it. Sort of another
reason for forming this group was to link the local to such struggles and
the issues around them.

Looking forward to the update.

As for the donation, I don't mind fronting the money as long as it gets
paid back in a reasonable amount of time.

Tony
