[Aaron Lakoff]

hi folks!
hope things are going well with the project.

i just wanted to forward you an email thread conversation i was having with
Jen Ridgley, who is doing research in Ottawa on sanctuary cities. she could
be a good point person.

also, if anyone needs anything (contacts, advice, equipment, etc.), don't
hesitate to ask!

friendly little reminder that it's CKUT's funding drive now until november
3. ain't no donation too big or too small!

Aaron!

I was just filtering through some old emails and found this exchange from
way back.  I do apologize for not following up with you.  I got kind of
caught up with some family crises this past summer and dropped the ball on
a lot of stuff.  Anyway, I hope your film project is going well.  Like I
said, most of my work and research is on sanctuary cities in the US, but I
might have some archives that would be interesting for you... depending on
how what direction you are taking with the film.  I would love to connect
and hear more about it.  I am living in Ottawa these days, working at
Carleton, but I am also in Toronto fairly regularly.

If you are interested in connecting by skype, that would be great too.

Cheers,

Jen
