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

[Holt]

Many have asked if they can bring food/drink-- NOT required!  Sure if 
you want, but far more useful would be a *LARGE* old travel bag or 2 to 
carry donations to Haiti!

(Perfect weather's expected for Sunday's Garden BBQ tomorrow, just bring 
Haiti/Kenya questions & see ya soon =)
