[NFBSF] Tactile Art Exibit Opportunity

[Laura Millar]

Hi Lisa and Chapter members,

I really appreciate you sharing this opportunity! I think it sounds like a
wonderful group activity.

I personally would love for you to arrange A tour for our chapter! I will
happily do the promotion and advertisement when we have the details.
Either day would work for me with a slight preference for the Saturday!
What do other folks think?

Thanks again! Looking forward to being back in the bay and in community
with folks.
