[Troop139] This Weekend's Troop Trip to the Edison National Historic Site in West Orange, NJ

[Diana Valencia]

Hi,

I sent you a text (i think).  I can drive down on Saturday and take Sergio
+2 (I will have Steph with me).  I will drop you all off at the site and
then run some errands that I have in that area and return for pick up and
drive home.

Let me know if this works OK for you.

Diana
