[UA-discuss] UA Day

[Nazar Nicholas]

Dear All,
Thanks for everyone's input. I agree with Mutegeki's proposal for the
Universal Acceptance Month. Activities could spread in a month and
celebrating parties will not have excuses in terms of collisions in
schedules. 30 days gives a wide latitude for events to take place and the
UA people everywhere will have an opportunity to participate in as many
hybrids as the 30 days can allow !
