[Blacklabcollective] Time Sensitive community org pitch!! please respond :)

[Lindsay Kasting]

Is it just 5he one Saturday or ongoing into the foreseeable future is my
question? Because if it is every Saturday, being present for 6 hours every
week is a huge commitment. But it does sound great to me too if y'all are
into it!
