[Communications] Volunteer Interest

[Natalia S]

Hi all,

Thanks for letting me join Tuesday's meeting! No worries about the late
start, I completely understand.

If Monday (3/24) works for Sarah, I'll send you all a Zoom link for Monday
@ 5-6PM.

Thanks again and looking forward to talking soon!

Best,
Natalia
