The Kinijit town hall meeting in Las Vegas is now over. More time than usual was given for the question and answer program of the event. The audience were expressing their views as much as asking questions. The 370 people who participated in the meeting raised a total of $41,900 for Kinijit. Considering that there are far fewer people in Las Vegas than in Dallas or Oakland, raising this much money was a great success. The next major event is the Kinijit leaders’ arrival in Seattle on Friday and the town hall meeting on Saturday.
