Fwd: [DefendingPeace] Re: Talisman Saber 2017: Phone hook up & proposals

[Annette Brownlie]

Hi All on the Brisbane IPAN groups listing- would anyone like to join this meeting???

 

Hi Folks,

The next Talisman Saber 2017 Phone Hook UP will be this WEDNESDAY MAY 31 at 6pm

I pretty sure the State of Origin rugby? is on that night  - so I hope you can pull yourself away from it for a little while!

Please RSVP to me - IF POSSIBLE - so that we can ensure your participation - i.e. call you if necessary or remind you etc.  As well as let you know HOW we will do this one: i.e. what number to dial in etc

I am still working out the best way for us to CONFERENCE CALL.  Anyone with access to a good system, please share or advise!

Thanks!

peace,

Robin

plus your ideas....

Logistics of phone hook up:  

We did a skype hook up last week.  There has been a proposal to try over Facebook.  How do you feel about that?

People will either need to be on Skype or Facebook  - either of which should be a free call if you are on a computer or use data, that is.

Do you have concerns or preferences?  Please explain! 

Note: To join on Skype you  will need to by my "contact" on Skype so, just in case,  please send me a contact request before the hook up-if you wish to join us:   robin.taubenfeld

Please share your thoughts!

Thanks!

peace,
