[Viva] More info about the PWN Meeting next Tuesday

[Margarite Sanchez]

Thanks for looking into this Kath! It sounds like the board is open to this
event being led by poz women.
I hope lots of Viva women attend!!
I think it's important that they hear from us how important women focused
programming is ... AND that we need funding, so they put in a good word to
the funders on our behalf.
It is SO overdue that programming for poz women is informed by poz women!!

warmly,
Margarite
