[Northampton-GP] Anti-Poverty March

[Susan Lantz]

I spoke with Casa Latino today and they are definitely interested, but 
must speak to others etc.  I gave them the date of 1/21 for our next 
meeting....Is that ok with everyone?  Jim, have you reached the UAW and 
can we meet there?  Please respond about date.
Thanks, Susan
