Hello conversation crushers.
If you are coming tonight to help compile the data

Hello conversation crusher.
So it's not really a party but you can bring your laptop.

We will be meeting on Monday June 1st at 7pm at my house to start compiling all the comments, notes, ideas, questions, results etc.

We hope to divide and conquer all the material from both conversations into documents that can be posted, printed, passed on and utilized.

I live at 28 st james ave. Across from the mobil station on northampton street, 3/4 of the way down in a green house.

Feel free to bring beer, your laptop and a snack.

Have a great weekend, see you Monday.
Aaron

Comment by Gustavo Acosta on May 11, 2009 at 8:15am: Friends, my apologies. I may not be able to make it tonight --only if I get out of a parent/student interview early enough to catch up with you. I have only three volunteer translators: Yesenia Jusino, Ruth Trujillo and myself. No responses this far from people I know.

Comment by aaron vega on May 10, 2009 at 8:52pm: Hello conversation crushers. Our last general meeting before next Tuesday's Community Conversation will be Monday at 6pm at Pizza D'Action. Its the final push!

Call or e-mail if you can't be there put still want to help. We need a last public blast, volunteers to set up and clean up at the event, and most important is for yo all to come to the conversation and bring people to this great event.

Thanks for all your work so far.
