[IL-Talk] Hello NFB of Illinois!

[Dustin Cather]

Hey Seyoon!

Congratulations on the new job. Would love to have you join us for a
chapter meeting. You are looped into Il-Talk, so you will get the
notifications. But as Patti mentioned, we have a chapter picnic coming up
on the 18th at Lincoln Park Zoo Landmark Cafe.
Feel free to stop on by between 12:00pm and 3:00pm and come meet some of
the Chicago Chapter members.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Send me an email at
cather.dustin at gmail.com.

Would love to get you looped in.

- Dustin
