<p>I wanted to let you know about an upcoming <strong>Blind/Low Vision Learn to Skate</strong> event coming up. We\u2019re really excited to continue growing the sport in the Boston area, and events like this are a great opportunity to introduce more people to the ice in a fun, welcoming environment.</p>
<p>If you know anyone who might be interested in participating or helping spread the word, I\u2019d really appreciate it if you could pass this along. The more people we can reach, the better!</p>
<p>Thanks so much for your continued support as we work to expand access and opportunity in the sport.</p>
<p>Best,</p><p>Nicole</p></div><div><br></div><div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
