[Imc-outreach] want to help

[Jane Andrew]

I don't think it's possible to get something organized
for Yes Men, since we're not even meeting (because of
Thanksgiving) this week.  :(  

I'll try to find someone to help promote the IMC at
Lunafest (at least part of the time). I'll put it on
the agenda for the Dec 1 meeting.
