Re: Edmonton Police Intervenes:: Venue update

[Peter Obiefuna]

Hello everyone:
Following the email sent by Cajetan (on behalf of the out-going Board)
to a segment of the community announcing a venue change, I reasoned
that it makes sense to adopt that venue considering that it will be
larger and more comfortable for attendees.
So, I proposed to the EPS and the Caretaker Committee to adopt the
venue. They both have.

The EPS-mediated meeting of NAA scheduled for Sunday 27 April, 4:00 pm
will now hold at:

CHATEAU LOUIS HOTEL & CONFERENCE CENTRE
11727 KINGS WAY NW
EDMONTON, AB T5G 3A1
Phone: (780) 452-7770
Bus Stop: 117St & Kingsway

All the best and see you there.
