We will have speakers before & after brunch & while doing the world café. Ben to send out invites to guest speakers. Funding was received from Winnipeg office for the Brunch since the last meeting.
The next topic was Labour Day volunteers & combining it with a learning objective of Labour History. Labour Day volunteering is right up the alley of the Area Council because it’s socio-political in nature, as is the Area Council. Ben will try & drum up more volunteers for Labour Day.
