[Wamvan] Social - my update etc

[Joanna Chiu]

Thanks for your suggestions, Jana! Jarrah read them out at the social
today.

Very excited about the other exciting ideas we have come up with, and the
energy to make it all happen! It was also great just to talk in person
about gender issues and the media.

Thanks for all those who made it, and for people who couldn't, don't worry!
We are planning to have much more frequent meetups from now on.

I'll send out a detailed email after Christmas describing the action ideas
discussed, explaining how we will re-envision how WAM! Vancouver will be
run in the new year.

Stay tuned!

Joanna

PS: Thanks again Jarrah for planning!
