[W2CRA] ask NHHS to announce? Re: *** Cherryville Hamfest Cancelled ***

[Chris Malzone]

Hi Kurt,

As an FYI, I sent our ad to Karen (our contact person) at NHHS last week being sure to invite all the students as has been our practice.  She said she would send it to the person involved with STEM and ask him to post it. 

Speaking to her this morning she advise that all is OK regarding our concern as the school let everyone know that ALL events are cancelled this weekend. 

73, Chris
