Hi all:
Sunday is fine by me; how does that work for others? I think at this point it may be hard to find a time that works for everyone given it is a busy time of the year. What time were you thinking Jess? What is your address again?

Didn't even know Running Down the Walls was happening this Saturday. Thanks for the heads up. 
Take care,
Tony

Hi all,
Thanks for the update Tony. I would be able to meet this weekend, but Sunday would be better because I was hoping to make it out to Running Down the Walls on Saturday afternoon. It wouldn't be a problem to meet at my place Sunday if that time/place works for folks.

Hello everyone:
I hope everyone is doing okay as I'm sure everyone is quite busy. I am just checking in with everyone to gauge capacity over the next little while, and provide everyone a brief description of the meeting we had 1.5 weeks ago. Peter filled us in on some previous discussions folks had about making the budget a little more precise and adding a few more lines to it to make some distinctions among our funding priorities. I think the general consensus seems to be that this is probably a pretty good idea that we should revisit at a future meeting. 




We talked briefly about a couple of other things, one sort of long term, and the other short term. I brought up the idea of crafting a statement about the need for a public inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women in Canada and bringing it forward to the next general membership meeting. I thought we could attempt to write something in a future meeting so that the local can pass it and maybe we can email it out over the union listserv as well as our own networks. In terms of the long term, Peter mentioned the possibility of producing some sort of literature piece based on research done for the workshop many of us participated in in August. It sounded like others in the group had thought this might be a good idea and Peter, Marguerite, and I talked about how we also thought it would a good idea to try and organize another workshop and sort of devote the working group's energy to getting that off the ground. Not sure where folks are it or what they think about this idea, but perhaps we can talk about it at the next meeting. 




The documentary is a pretty amazing creation. I am happy we supported that project.  Amanda also performed a spoken word poem in Toronto on Saturday at the Anti-Line 9 rally that was quite incredible. Must be footage somewhere out there of it. 



I'm wondering if anyone is available to meet for a couple hours either this Saturday or Sunday to catch up and see where people are at and how they feel about the group's direction. It is sort of short notice, I know, which is my fault, but if you do have some time, please email the group. I was thinking we maybe could get lucky and snag a comfortable space in either the Brain or Mulberry.    



Thanks,
Tony
