I wanted to invite anyone who may be interested in joining BLINC's first quarterly workshop of the year which will be taking place on Friday, 2/28 at Elon University. The workshop & parking is free (aside from lunch)! Again, we welcome any who finds interest in the following agenda items!

We will be gathering in Elon's new Sankey Hall building (304 S O'Kelly Ave, Elon, NC 27244). Parking is free, please park in the McMichael East parking lot (an extension of the large McMichael lot off of O'Kelly St, next to the McMichael Science Building). You'll know you're in the correct lot if you see a bulldozed and empty lot next door. Sankey Hall is across from the McMichael Science Building.
