[Communications] CCGA November 7 Workshop - JPG flyer for emailing & posting and Facebook post to come on Friday

[Kathleen Howlett]

Thanks, Amy!

Regarding tomorrow, is there anyone from the CCGA who intends to speak at
the beginning? If so, please let me know. If you are planning to do any
sort of introduction, we'd like to have that person log into the meeting
10-15 minutes early so Kasey and I can make sure we have the audio / tech
all set up for this additional host before the workshop is scheduled to
begin.
