Hi Bill, If you could post this, I would appreciate it. thanks, Catharine Temagami Gathering, September 14-17 This year there's a surplus of people from Toronto who want to attend Alex Mathias' Changing of the Seasons Ceremony but who don't have cars. If anyone is planning on attending, and is willing to carpool, please contact Earthroots campaigner, Catharine Grant at 416-599-0152 ext. 13 or catharine@earthroots.org. People without cars understand that they will need to share gas costs. Thanks! Catharine
