RSCDS AGM

Oct. 30, 2001, 10:33 p.m. (Message 27996, in reply to message 27991)

To all, especially to those who will be attending or sending delegates to
the RSCDS AGM this weekend -

Last week I said I had been asked to post to strathspey the Montreal Branch
position, and reasons for it, on the various motions.  The purpose was to
permit a bit of discussion since we won't be at the AGM personally.
However, I think the time is a bit short to permit such discussion, so ...

If you would like some exchange prior to the meeting, please email me
privately at mailto:xxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx OR email our Branch chairperson at
mailto:xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx.

And please take the opportunity to seek out and speak with John and Lynn
Fyfe, who have graciously offered to represent us at the AGM.  If nothing
else, seek them out to thank them for their generosity, but I hope also to
learn of our viewpoint and to express your own.  As many of you, we have
some very real concerns about the changes that are being proposed.  We are
doing our best to communicate with the Fyfes, in the short time left, what
our stance is and the reasons for it so that they can not only record our
vote but also participate on our behalf in discussions.  

I hope that we (i.e. anyone reading this and myself!) may have opportunities
to work together personally, or to enjoy the dance personally, at some time
in the future.

regards,
Norah Link (Montreal, QC, Canada)
