<div>Good Afternoon, <br>
<br>
</div>
My name is Traci Montgomery (Calvin alum and former CSR employee with Neil Carlson). Neil passed along your names, and I'm thinking I have met both of you briefly in the past.<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm currently the Community Organizer for Friendly Code, our Code for America brigade here in GR, and I have a last minute request of an event to forward to any potentially interested students or alum. I think Allen Clark, one of our captains forwarded this
on a week or so ago, but I wanted to make sure that it had been received. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>We are hosting an event tomorrow evening (10/20) and are always looking to get more folks involved. Below is the event information that can be shared.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>If you have any questions, please let me know.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Thanks so much!<br>
