[NFB-DB] Fwd: [NFBP-Talk] Zoom Events Today

Thu May 14 18:20:14 UTC 2020

Firstly, this is not a db sponsored event, I merely thought it would be of
interest. I also stated that if anyone has any questions they could email
and I would answer. This is simply one more avenue for those who can
participate. No need to start world war 3. ugh.
