[Advocacy-outreach] [Communications] Corporate Volunteer Day - Ropes & Gray

[Marsha Wyatt]

Greetings CCGA friends and Chloe !

The team at Ropes & Gray is amazing - from those on Chloe's event planning
team to the attorneys, support staff, family and children who attended !
Everyone on the Maxwell Team had a great time, too,  and so much was
accomplished!!  I encourage you to give this consideration and ask them to
come and meet you and visit your gardens.  Happy to provide some tips on
how to make the day go more smoothly as it is a big group and pre-planning
for their visit certainly paid off when it came to making the day go
smoothly.

Warm regards,
Marsha
