[Ponte Alto] Georgetown Demo - April 21st

[Shannon Smith]

I am relieved to hear from you.  If you can get in touch with others to do
this demo, I would be so grateful!  I have been at a loss.  I will get
directions for you asap.  I probably won't be able to get them to you
today - I'm swamped - but I will deliver.

Thanks again,
Sorcha :)
