<p>Hello!</p>
<p>This opportunity recently came through the CLA office - if any of the offices cc'd on this email (CLPP, CFF, QCAC, GRN, Well) would be interested in officially hosting an event at Hampshire this upcoming year with Marty, let us know and we can coordinate from there. She does a variety of bookings ranging from performances to more close-knit, small group workshops. See her work at <a href="http://www.martyoutloud.com/">www.martyoutloud.com</a><span>.</span></p>
<p>Best,</p>
