[Toronto-dev] Sun Sept 18: Canada's Own OLPC Community BBQ!

[Holt]

We have 25 RSVPs already, I can't wait to meet so many Canadians 
committed to giving others a fighting chance!

REMINDER: if you'd like a full invitation with address and directions, 
the volunteers who are organizing and paying for our Elora Garden BBQ 
just request you send me a bit more about your interests in OLPC.

Two sentences in a private mail suffice!  
Background/interests/talents/whatever.  (Whether or not you are 
interested in volunteering overseas or in person, that is OK.  Of course 
if you are interested, don't hesitate to send your resume to 
volunteer at laptop.org)

PS I'd also ask you please send me your phone number and rough location 
privately, as we are organizing rides from Toronto and Waterloo, thanks :)
