Hi, my name is jenny Holcomb. I recently moved to Towson and I\u2019m looking forward to meeting chapter members tomorrow.
<div><br>
</div>
<div> My niece is in fourth grade. She is working on some white cane inventions for elementary kids. If anyone has extra canes, they could bring to the party tomorrow and donate to her I would be happy to collect them. This is purely for the interest of a
fourth graders school project for something called invention convention. They are asked to look for a problem in there every day lives and solve it. Thank you in advance.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Looking forward to meeting you.</div>
