Hi everyone,

Would Mon. June 23 work for you?  We can figure out a time and place for
the workshop when I get to Vancouver.  As I mentioned, I'm open to
facilitating more than one workshop or changing the date.  Please let me
know!

Mavaddat, thank you for sharing Beth Anne's blog.  I really appreciate it!

Jenna
