    AUTO-FREE OTTAWA ACTIVITIES UPDATE
    
    Since the last issue of auto-free zone, Volunteer Coordinator
    Nancy Shaver recruited several new members.  As a result, a By
    Ward Market Committee has been formed, and a new pamphlet is
    being prepared (thanks to Carolyn Vanneste and Nancy).  Nancy
    Shaver also created a recruitment poster for public libraries and
    community centres.  Auto-Free Ottawa also responded to requests
    for interviews from CKCU radio (many thanks to Paul Davis) and
    MCTV in Sudbury.  In addition, Auto-Free Ottawa responded to many
    requests for information or support from various community groups
    and individuals.
