Hi all,
Not sure if there were any pictures taken that we can upload to Commons,
but if there are, [[Category:ArtAndFeminism 2015]] is waiting for them!
(we could probably create [[Category:ArtAndFeminism 2015/Minneapolis, MN]]
just to be safe, too!)

Hello, wikimedia-us-mn! I got an email last night from our esteemed friend
James Hare from WMDC, who introduced me to Veronica, who is looking for
some experienced Wikipedia editors to help out at an event she's helping
to plan in April.
See the details below - I figured some of you would be interested and
able to help.
