[Carmen Weatherly]

Hello all,
I’m forwarding you NFB of California interest groups. 
This sounds like it’s very interesting.
we all might want to get involved  with one or two groups. They were wanting to know if today 4 PM or 5 PM or Friday 4 PM to 5 PM would be a great time to get started.
Thank you
