[Wamvan] 8:30 Meeting time for film tomorrow

[Frieda Werden]

If we wait until 8:45, Joanna, they may sell our tickets to people who don't
have reservation.  I at least plan to be there by 8:30 at the latest.  For
new people - it's at Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour Street.  I will update
our reservation to 12 people.

The tickets will be $6 for the WAMVan group, but if you don't have a Doxa
membership, you'll pay $3 for that as well.

Looking forward to seeing you all and chatting after.
