Dear friends & family,
This Saturday is the longest day of the year. I hope you have something special planned that takes you outdoors!
I want to do everything on this list, right down to the woodrat lecture. It's also goin'-to-press week, so that's unlikely. But one certainty is Tuesday's Green Drinks, which will be held here at the CATALYST office (see details below). Maybe we'll see you here, too?
