[Scale-planning] outreach for Youth track?

Fri Feb 3 23:11:59 UTC 2017

Thanks Lan. Appreciate our thinking of us and can understand the position
of not wanting to wear multiple hats while running an event.
I'm unfortunately not in the area during the event, but hoping someone else
from scale-planning chimes in.
I've also fwd'd your email to after other scale lists in hopes someone can
help.
