[Wamvan] Invitation - dialogue, creative exploration of identities: queer, feminist and Christian

[Jenna Tenn-Yuk]

I arrived on Saturday and have been enjoying the beautiful weather!

I've been in touch with Melanie at Heartwood, so we could book the space
once we've settled on a date.  As of now, Wed. June 25 is open.  Please let
me know if that works.

Jenna
