SUMMARY:OCA Outreach - Castille Elementary\, Mission Viejo
DESCRIPTION:It is with great reluctance that I must cancel the scheduled OCA Outreach at Castille Elementary School in Mission Viejo scheduled for today at 7:00 PM. However\, the Weather Channel forecast for the city indicates in excess of 70 percent cloud cover for the entire period of the event\, and we cannot have an outreach with that much cloudiness. \nMartin Christensen \nOutreach Coordinator\, OCA \n  \nViews: 190
