Good Morning,

I wanted to pass along a cool event that is happening this weekend in West
Hartford. Abby Denson, a local CT author shared it with me and she will be
there with her husband. Please share with students and staff who may be
interested!

Have a great day,
Melissa

Hi Melissa,

Did you know about the Japan Summer festival happening on June 13th?
Matt and I recently got added and we're planning to go and hang some
posters / flyers around West Hartford for it this Saturday.
Do you have any suggested spots we should go to?
Our publisher made this cute flyer for us. :)
I'm also attaching the festival flyer in case you want to share these
around.

Thanks!
