I wanted to write to you to let you know about a couple of great events this week in St. John’s.  Please join with, Marlene Wells, Atlantic organizer for the Green Party of Canada for an evening of conversation and networking.  There is no membership or donation required.  Just an open mind and a willingness to work together!  Come on out to meet some new people and start a conversation that will lead us into the Federal Election of 2015.

WHERE:  The Rocket Bakery, 272 Water St.

WHEN: Thursday, November 6^th

TIME: 7-9PM

Then on Friday night please join with Marlene, and Elizabeth May, who will be reading from and answering questions about her new book, Who We Are: Reflections on My Life and Canada. She will also be conducting a public talk. In this marriage of memoir and manifesto, Elizabeth provides personal perspectives on her approach to politics, policy, and what it means to be Canadian. 

This book is an argument for our future, the future of our children, and our grandchildren and generations beyond.  It is about how diminished democracy undermines our best hope to avoid the worsening of the climate crisis, accelerating to threaten human civilization itself.  It is a book about how we can make a difference.

Greg Malone, Actor, Political Satirist and Writer, will welcome and introduce Elizabeth May.  Books will be available for purchase.

WHERE: Celestial Gallery, Johnson Geocentre, 175 Signal Hill Road

WHEN: Friday, November 7
