   From what I can tell, you're only on the current 2/13 PC agenda for
Life In The Bike Lane, IMC Radio News, and Free Speech Radio News.

   In other words, either the PC hasn't yet been told, or the WEFT
associates haven't.  Unless there's something i've missed.

   There's a public affairs slot open for fridays, 5:30 to 6 pm.  Maybe
it falls under that, but I see no proposal in the agenda either - so you
might want to get with somebody.
