Hi BFET Team,

It was brought to my attention that I attached the outdated meeting invite. I attached to the email below an invite for October 21st, 2019 which was changed to October 14th, 2019. Attached is the correct invite for DSHS. It will be held on October 14th.

Please disregard the previous meeting invite.

Thank you,

Jennifer
