[Communications] Upcoming Seed Swap & Workshop - Humboldt Park Branch

Fri Feb 23 09:54:33 CST 2024

Maria,

Glad to hear we were able to post and bring some attention to your event.
We often do host a table at events, however I'll be out of town for the
library event, but I'll get the word out to a few team members who might be
able to set up a table.

Best,
Lorraine Kells, Co-chair
CCGA Education Committee
