Hello,
We're so happy you can join us tomorrow, October 18, for a tour outside the Obama Presidential Center and look forward to sharing more about our work!
ARRIVAL: Please come by any time within the 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM window. We'll have 30-minute tours running throughout the two hours, so you do not need to arrive right at 11:00 AM.
