If you want the Green Party to win seats in the next election, this workshop’s for you!

This three-hour workshop is designed for any Green Party supporter — whether you are an active card-carrying member of the Green Party or not!  All that is required is a desire to see the Green Party win seats in the next election.

In this workshop you will learn the simple things that win seats and how you can apply them to your riding.  You will learn step-by-step how to easily identity potential Green Party voters, build and grow your riding’s own Green Party voter’s list, how to use the list effectively before and during an election, and most importantly, how to convert the list into votes during an election.

This is just one workshop in a whole day of workshops.  For more details and registration information, see Everything you always wanted to know about how to win an election*.

Elizabeth May will be the special guest at Workshop C — Identify and get out the vote. 

Next to you, the volunteers, the most important tool we have to win an election is our amazing new leader.  Come meet Elizabeth May and hear first hand how she and her team used the tools being taught in this seminar to make Green Party history with never-before achieved election results in the recent by-eleciton.  Come prepared with your questions for the Q&A session which will follow.

Email me to have a chocogram bicycled to your door on Valentine’s day:

• Chocolate sunflower sprout hearts $2
• Oaxaca Crunch $5/90g

Michael Sacco of Choco Sol on Bathurst makes chocolate food, not candy. His business grew out of a time he spent in Mexico, helping to organize inter-community trade relationships. His chocolates are fairly traded, organically grown and locally manufactured with the cacao beans ground by bicycle power. The powder and butter are never separated. Many of his chocolates are sweetened with agave nectar, and are diabetic safe. I’ve tried them and they’re delicious.

For Valentines Day he’ll be making chocolate-covered sunflower sprouts in a heart shape for $2 each (sunflowers are the Green Party symbol). These must be eaten on Valentine’s Day as the sprouts wilt. If you want something that will last a few days, you can order his Oaxaca Crunch chocolate, $5 for a 90g package.

I have some friends who are willing to deliver these chocolates by bicycle (unless there’s a snowstorm, in which case I’ll have to make alternate arrangements). You need to put in your order to adriana@danforthgreens.ca by Wednesday Feb 7.

Get some for your kids, your mom, your brother, your neighbour.
