Monika & all, I would be most happy to participate in both the *Learn to Purposefully Edit Wikipedia* on February 22, 2017 ~3-4:30pm & *Black History Month Edit-a-thon* on February 23, 2017 3-6pm.
I would like to also have Cascadia Wikimedians be a affiliated sponsor of* Editing as Activism: Black History Month Wikipedia Workshop and Editing* at the University of Washington-Bothell. I will also check with the rest of the board, but I think we will all be in favor. Yours Peaceray --, Raymond F.
