[Phar25] Health Fair Volunteer Opportunity!

[Hamilton, Jessica]

Good morning all,

The Community Health Fair with the Episcopal Farmworker Ministry in Dunn,
NC planned for March 18th has been *cancelled* due to
unforeseen circumstances. Thank you all for your eagerness to assist,
volunteer, and offer your support! If you have any questions or concerns,
please reach out. I thank you all again for the amazing response for this
event. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused,
this decision was on behalf of their organization.

Best regards,
Jessica Hamilton, Kensley Wyatt, Ivonne Santiago, and Aubrey LaVoie
