Dear Kendra,

Thank you for sending the notice regarding this
workshop.  Some former colleagues of mine at the
Caribbean Food and Nutrition Institute are interested
in learning more about the workshop and have asked me
to forward the brochure containing additional
information (including the agenda).

Could you please forward this information to me so
that I can pass it on to them?  They may want to take
advantage of the early registration deadline of
Monday, March 31.

Thanks so much,
Nicole Edwards
