Schedule conflict moves next V4CF meeting to Tuesday, Oct. 13

Just a quick update: Because both of our preferred meeting venues are booked on the evening of Oct. 6, we've had to change the date of our next Volunteers For Change-Fresno general meeting to Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Time and venue remain the same: 7-8:30 p.m., in the large community room at the Fig Garden Library. See you then!
