Many, many thanks to the Data Research Team (DRT).. Joel Wiley, Terry Fagan, Karla Meadows, Julie Chapman, and Robert Miller for their assistance on the technical side of the canvass operation. This wouldn't be happening without their assistance.
The next CAT-EDC Canvass canvass is on Sept. 7-8 in South Lake Tahoe (Sue Chandler hosting). The SLT canvass will include overnight accommodations for out-of-town canvass volunteers. Food, beverages and lots of great conversation are always part of our canvass events.
