[Wamvan] WAM Vancouver members interested in attending fundraising dinner for Rumana together?

[Joanna Chiu]

I'm so sorry I missed this. I was in Alaska. How did the rally go?

Would any other WAM members be interested in going to the fundraising dinner
on Tuesday night together? I'm available for the 8 pm seating.
