'Issue teams,' Santa's Village project the topics at V4CF General Meeting Oct. 13

We hope you'll join us at the next Volunteers for Change-Fresno general meeting, scheduled 7-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, in the large meeting room at the Fig Garden Library, 3071 W. Bullard Ave., in Fresno. The library is on the southwest corner of Bullard and Marks, in the shopping center.

Our meeting will include:

• A discussion about setting up V4CF 'issue teams,' groups of volunteers who will take the lead on researching issues important to us, and will build bridges to other like-minded groups to coordinate our efforts in support of our mission;
  
  
• More details on our efforts to support the Fresno 'Santa's Village' project in December. Donations for Santa's Village will also be accepted at the meeting; help by donating new or slightly used toys (especially stuffed animals), clothing for children under 18, mittens and gloves, warm hats, jackets, and shoes;
  
  
• A demonstration of how easy it can be to use the V4CF Action Blog to make calls to our Congressional representatives;
  
  
• A quick and voluntary "pass o'the hat" to fund some V4CF basics, like paper and printer ink; and
  
  
• The debut of our long-awaited V4CF T-Shirts, which will be available in several sizes for $15 each. Get yours at our Tuesday meeting... correct change will be appreciated, but not required.
  

Expect intelligent conversation, enlightening commentary, and high T-shirt fashion at our meeting! We hope to see you there!
