[Sanctuarycity_hamilton] Forum event planning

Hey!

I thought Jan 13th was confirmed, I support that date. Would it be 7-9 pm?

I called and left a message with the YWCA and have sent an email. Feel free
to help out also!

I don't know of other places to contact, aside from the YWCA... Do we have
other options? Homegrown? New United Church (I'd prefer elsewhere, though I
do like them)?
