[Health_Education_Promotion] March 19th presentation: Pollution in People

[Alissa Leavitt (Green)]

Thank you so much for doing this Josie! I've been meaning to put one
together. A couple people have asked me if non-OPHA members can attend. Is
there room to add a small note on the flyer that it is open to the
public/non-members?

Thank you!
