Hello everyone,
It is hard to believe we are already in spring! The weather certainly hasn’t completely caught up yet, haha. Below is a list of our completed outreach since January, based on what I had reported to the NCFC’s list just prior to the March meeting. We had a fairly decent number of folks reached since that time, with a fairly large crowd at the Schiele Museum. Be sure to check out other topics related to upcoming outreach, as we’ll have a lot of really neat opportunities this summer.
Let me know if anyone has corrections or additions. Thanks you, I hope everyone has a great spring, and I’ll update everyone again in May!
