[Pvgreens-discussion] Re: [GPOC] Denver Post Story

[sandylemberg at juno.com]

Claire asked for suggestions on what could be printed to hand out. Anyone
reading this who as ideas, please respond to this list ---exclude me,
because I'll already get it through PV Greens and the GPOC lists.

PV Greens had some discussion about revising our flyer. Does anyone
remember the details?

We will have a table with materials from our PV Greens local. I believe
that Brian has materials from the GPOC that you could get if you can find
a way to connect with him, since he is in Boulder. Anyone else in one of
the Metro Denver locals who has something could contact Claire or Tom and
figure out how to get it to them.

Tom, definitely please bring those cards with the 10 KV.

I will probably be able to stop by around midday Sunday, just for a short
time, before I have to leave for another commitment.

Thanks again!

Sandy
