I got this message and this would be good for our group. As alway it's up to the group if we do an event.
So leave a post to say what you think.

Hello Robert,
I am trying to contact you because we are organizing an event "London Carnival Parade" to be held in London on Saturday, June 13, 2009 starting at 10:00 a.m.
The cause of this event is to collect books in different languages other than English to create an International pavillion at the London Public Library.

I'd like more information about it, but the date sounds OK to me.

Ok the parade starts at Dundas and Colborne goes up Dundas to Richmond, then down to Duffern, then to Clarance and on to Victoria park. The parade starts at 10:00 AM. Once in the park the festival goes untill 6:00 PM.

This is a new group trying to get people to donate non-English books to the library. Here's the face book group.

I could do the parade but would not be able to stay long for the festival. I have to work.

My input is that we do the parade but perhaps not the festival in Victoria Park - unless we have some people to volunteer to staff a table or something. I'm still not really sure what they have in mind...

I'll have to see. I work saturdays now, but I'm sure I could get someone to trade or pick up my shift if I need to.

So it looks like we're all leaning to a "yes" here.

They now have a website up

http://www.londoncarnivalparade.com

I think we should do it. It would be good publicity for the group and it's free.

So far I've gotten maybes, as scheduling is not definite work-wise for people on that date. I can go to the parade, so that would make 5 total for Yes, with some maybes. Do you have a goal for attendance before you commit to the parade?

No but only 3 or 4 people really looks bad.
Thanks Tom
