[DSM-Iowa] FW: [Nfbnet-members-list] NFBCO Workshops week 6

Tue Apr 21 13:11:52 UTC 2020

Good Morning Again Federationists:

I thought I’d send out the events that Colorado is doing if you’re looking
for something to liven things up during the week. I’ve done a few of the
Friday events, and they’re really well done. If anyone has events or
workshops you think we can do in Iowa, let me know and we’ll get to work on
them. Thanks!
