Hi Vadim, thanx for the invite, it was good to talk to ya at the MonkybarGym HEART event this past Sat. This looks like an interesting event, and i would like to attend the meeting to check it out some more. Unfortunately I will be out of town.... Organizing against Monsanto GMO's etc.. At least for now keep me in the loop... I do have a lot of vegan irons in the fire, but maybe I can help out in some capacity... luck to you all...

In order to be involved in the organization of CVPP you will need to be a part of at least one of the Committees (Outreach, Technology, Finance, Operation). Please use the event comment area to place your committee preference by the end of this Friday. If you don't have a strong preference or an idea of which area you might be the most effective or needed simply put your best guess. It would save us time on Saturday and will make the meeting as productive as possible.

Hi Vadim! I am willing to help wherever I am needed! As far as my skills and likes I'd probably be most useful on either the outreach or financial committees :)

Technology. I am willing to help out as needed on the other committees too (except for Financial Planning and Accounting - you don't want me doing those, believe me! :) )

Operations and executive committees are probably where I will do most good.
