[Noisebridge-discuss] Fwd: Noisebridge 5 year anniversary party donations - Update

[Amber Zertuche]

Hey Liz!
Thank you for promoting the field trip, we are looking forward to it and
would love more volunteers.

Just a reminder, only 45 Burton high school Physics students will now only
be there Tuesday, April 2nd from 9-noon. So there is less commitment if
you'd like to volunteer.

Cheers
Amber
