[Libs-Or] Civics workshops - season ending

[Donna Cohen]

Hello all, these are the final scheduled workshops for this season. I am
scheduling for the fall now: 6 are set already, 4 in process.  It's been
wonderful to share this knowledge with your patrons and, especially, to
engage in some absorbing conversations with participants, particularly after
the Citizen Advocacy and the Constitution workshops. I look forward to
continuing these engaging events after the summer. If I don't see you before
then, have a great summer!!
