Good Evening Folks,
🌟 Join Us for a Beautiful Day in the Back Bay! 🐘🐘🐘  
On Saturday, August 29th, we’ll be gathering together for a wonderful day in the Back Bay to experience this beautiful and glorious exhibit! 💕🎨
I’m still scouting out the area to find the perfect place for us to meet for lunch, and I’ll have all of those details for you by this Sunday. In the meantime, please save the date! 📅💃
We’re planning to meet around 12:30 p.m. for lunch. If you know of a great, convenient, and accessible place nearby, please send your suggestions my way! I’ll also be checking out the area myself this Saturday. 🍽️😊
After lunch, we’ll head out together to walk a portion of the exhibit and enjoy the sights, sounds, and experience along the way. 🚶‍♀️🌿✨
I’m also working on finding sighted guides for anyone who would like one, so that everyone can fully enjoy the experience. Be sure to let me know if you would like to have a sighted guide. ❤️
If you haven’t already, please let me know if you’d like to join us on August 29th! You can reach me at:

Subject: Let's walk among the elephants together! 

Thank you, Jen Bose, for sharing this incredible opportunity with us! 💙 What a wonderful chance to experience what it might feel like to stand among a herd of 100 elephants! 🐘🐘🐘
The elephants have arrived in Boston and are making the historic Back Bay their home for a while! 🌳🏙️ You can experience this breathtaking exhibition along the tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue Mall, from Quin House on Fairfield Street down to Dartmouth Street.
✨ Imagine walking among the herd, feeling their immense presence, listening to the birdsong in the trees, and experiencing the majesty and peacefulness of these incredible animals. 🐘🌿🕊️
This beautiful exhibition celebrates coexistence and reminds us that our planet is home to all of us. 🌎💚 It is an opportunity to experience the awe of being surrounded by wild animals and to reflect on how we can better share our world with them.
📅 The elephants will be in Boston through September 13th!
And here's my idea… 💡❤️
I would LOVE to make this a special day trip for our membership! 🐘 We could gather together, enjoy the exhibit, spend some time in Boston, grab a bite to eat, and make a wonderful day of it! ☕🍴🌆
If you are interested in joining us, please reach out to me! 🙋‍♀️ Let’s see how much interest we have and plan a fun, memorable day together before these magnificent elephants continue their journey around the world. 🌎🐘✨
The herd is waiting… let’s go meet them! 🐘💙🌿
Warmly,
