[Lekooks] Fw: Live from the Intergenerational Spring Seminar this Saturday!

[C Rollins]

 Hi eveyone-Our teens were suppose to be in NYC this weekend for the annual UNO Spring Seminar. Unfortunately they weren't able to go this year, but the entire seminar is online now. It's too late to register now but the email below arrived today and the seminar will be live streaming two events tomorrow on Youtube. So if you find yourself at home (where I'm sure most of us are anyways) please feel free to check out the wonderful speaker/panel they have lined up for Climate Justice theme this year. Luckily many of our teens did register for online participation. 
Thank you-Chris Rollins
