[Prevscilist] 90by30 Invitation

[agarciai at uoregon.edu]

Dear Dr. Todahl,

I am very interested in attending this event. Preventing and reducing 
child abuse and neglect are some of my career goals and would love to be 
part of this initiative. If there are still seats available, I would 
like to be considered.

Thank you,

Alejandra Garcia I.
