Dear Keith, I want to thank you for the invitation to this Community Legal Services event. I am teaching a Zoom class for work at that very time on Wednesday and will not be able to participate. If there will be a recording of this or any information that you deem appropriate for distribution, I would appreciate receiving it. I will be looking for the report and documentary on your website.
