I may have enough aloe for everyone in IL. If you don’t have a plant to exchange and want a plant or just want to just come hang out, please come.

📣 Attention!
📣 A scam email was sent out to all ILAPT members. Thankfully it was noticed quickly but our board President sent the following email as a follow up to be aware:

Hi ILAPT!

Just a quick note to alert you that there was a scam email sent out to ILAPT members that looks like it came from me (Meredith Messina) asking for gift cards. If your scam-radar went off, you're correct - that email is NOT LEGIT. Please delete and don't reply or send money - it definitely didn't come from us.

Any questions or concerns - email me at ilaptpresident@gmail.com.

Take care,
Meredith Messina
ILAPT President
