[Northampton-GP] Re: NOFA tabling

[Scott McGinley]

Rob,

Hi.  I've heard the Amherst GRP took on the responsibility of coordinating
this.  I'm grateful and relieved.  Thank you.

I can commit to staffing the table Sunday.  If necessary, I can do the whole
day; if there are a lot of staffers, I would do 11:30 am - 3 pm.

I will be around the conference most of the conference, so I'll see you
there.

Peace,

Scott
