[ShareTompkins] Upcoming Share Tompkins events!

Mon Apr 26 17:44:32 UTC 2010

Just want to clarify- the June RRFM location at Alternatives has not  
been confirmed. One of the AFCU reps at our last RRFM thought it would  
be a great idea, but I still need to follow up and see if this can  
happen.

Will update you all soon :)

Best,
Danielle
