Subject: Re: [INPCRP] Restoration Workshop in Parke County
Jessica,
I am interested in attending the seminar in Parke County on June 7th. Do you
know if there are still openings? If there are, could you apss information
along to me (time, cost, location, etc.)?
I attended the advanced seminar by the IHS last year, but was not able to
attend the Basic Class, nor will I be able to attend it again this year. So
I hope to attend another class this spring, and and get connected with a
group working in the cemeteries.
Any info you can pass along would be appreciated.
Thanks!
