Hey AncientBlueSky - are you at CAMWS? We are too. Stop by our table to say hi, learn more about FGLIF, and pick up a pin or a flyer for yourself, your colleagues, or your students!
Photo of a brown table with black chairs in the background. The table is in front of a window. On the table are a number of small dark brown and gold pins with the FGLIF logo. Two sheets are propped up on the table. One includes the brown and gold FGLIF logo and the other is a QR code with the FGLIF logo at the centre. A stack of half-sheet flyers reading "Join the First-Generation Low-Income Federation" is also on the table in the foreground. Finally, there is also a small artificial potted plant on the table, in the middle of the two propped up sheets and behind the stack of flyers.
