I take care of my mom in Michigan and had taken an early morning train back to Chicago. I took a power nap in the afternoon and totally slept through my alarm! I know our April meeting will be a better hybrid setup with Sarah managing it :)

I have a lot of experience managing websites and listservs, organizing events and webinars, and creating graphics for events. I also have some fieldwork experience and would be happy to assist with any community projects that need volunteers.
