END THE LOCKDOWNS Rallies & Meetings in the Okanagan

Greetings, Freedom Lovers!

 Great news! Our numbers are growing! On Sunday, there were 38 participants [in Penticton]! That’s up from 26 on the previous Sunday. It’s also more than triple the number we were averaging before we set a goal of increasing our numbers at every rally. It really pays to set goals. We can congratulate ourselves for the momentum we’ve created by going out there every Sunday, rain or shine.
(Psst. The goal is to ask 2 people to join us every week. 😊)

 And we’re just getting started!
