I can come but I'll have to leave before the event end time to make it to my dad's neighborhood for my troop with them!

Message to the Facebook page this morning

Good morning. I wanted to follow up regarding the Autism Speaks walk at Soldier Field. Nechawn reached back out to me yesterday to say that she hadn't heard anything from the Garrison. Would it be possible to share the contact information for the person who will be handling this event on your behalf? Or could you please just make sure that they reach out to Nechawn directly at 708-295-8144
or nechawn.johnson@autismspeaks.org.
