Wednesday 1st April - Financial Fools' Day at 12 noon.
*MERCi Carrot Mobbing*
The *Co-operative* Bank, Balloon Street, Manchester.
“Many people of course will be in London's Square Mile on Financial
Fools' Day highlighting the horrors of the financial industry.  Here at MERCi
we're always trying to focus on the good, and good deeds should be
rewarded.
MERCi staff and friends will be presenting The *Co-operative* Bank with
the first ever MERCi-Carrot.  The MERCi-Carrot is a reward for continually
working towards improvements with respect for the environment and social
justice.  The MERCi-Carrot will be presented to The *Co-operative* Bank in
the form of a MERCi Carrot Cake and Certificate.
For a successful carrot mobbing, we need a mob.  A BIG mob.  And it must
be a surprise!!!  So please come down to the first ever MERCi Carrot
Mobbing and help us thank The *Co-operative* Bank for their efforts.
