[Libs-Or] [Reforma_or] Congratulations Mock Pura Belpre Organizers

[Lucy Iraola]

Hi all,

I agree that it was an exceptional event and I would like to also thank
Rodrigo and Carly for their amazing work coordinating the Mock Pura Belpre.
It was very organized and just the right amount of time. And I personally
appreciate Zeke's time to inspire me with his work, ideas, advice, and
personal experiences.

Great job guys!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you,
Lucy
