[Viva] FW: *****IMPORTANT INFORMATION POSITIVE GATHERING***********

[Margarite Sanchez]

Thanks for this info. Make note everyone!!!!......If the Positive Gathering
is postponed until June 17- 19th, that means that our ViVA meeting will be
postponed too. Since we are going to tag the ViVA meeting onto the Positive
Gathering as a satellite meeting the afternoon of the opening night (June
17th). We are doing this so that some of the women from out of town can get
their expenses covered to come into Vancouver for our reunion.
Stay tuned.
hope everyone is well,
Margarite
