Dear  : 

     Our wonderful events team has put together some interesting and fun events for the Summer. Thanks especially to Margot Seefeld and Jeff Crawford for all their behind the scenes work to organize these events for NHCP's 20th Anniversary. We are also grateful to our volunteer event leaders and our partner organizations.

     We recently mailed you an 2016 Summer Event Calendar. If you did not receive one, please let me know. This probably means we do not have an accurate mailing address you you.

     Below are the events we are offering for the months of June and July. We hope to see you at at least one of these. Please make sure to check our website for changes the morning of the event if there is heavy rain in the forecast.
