					Thank you! to all who have done so
so far.  

But because of Big Y's silence, we are scheduling a meeting at Big Y anyway.

Please join the delegation!  Can you be at Big Y headquarters, 2145
Roosevelt Avenue, Springfield, at 10 AM on Thursday, October 4?  People who
plan to attend will need a preparatory briefing, so please Reply ASAP if you
will be there, and how many people you can bring with you.

Kim Bobo will join the delegation!  Kim is the founding Executive Director
of Interfaith Worker Justice (http://www.iwj.org/), a network of people of
faith that calls upon our religious values in order to educate, organize,
and mobilize the religious community in the US on issues and campaigns that
will improve wages, benefits, and conditions for workers, and give voice to
workers, especially low-wage workers.  She will address the Mass. Nurses
Assn. Convention the day before.

If we are asked to leave the lobby we will comply and move to the public
tree belt, with signs and leaflets for the cars at the stop light right in
front.  Other details will be worked out at the next committee meeting,
Wednesday, September 26, 7-8:30pm, AFL-CIO Hall, 640 Page Blvd, Springfield.
