[Cynnabar] Fwd: HP Event: The Train Stops Here: Benefit Auction for the Ypsilanti Freighthouse

[Anne Stevenson-Less]

Hi everyone!

Upcoming benefit to support the Ypsilanti Freighthouse, where we have had
many fantastic events!  Unfortunately I will be out-of-town that day,
otherwise I would be there.  If you are so inclined I would highly recommend
going - there will be lots of fantastic auctions, good food and for a great
cause!

Yours,
Giovanna
