[BNS_members] Members update

[Riley Scanlan]

Hi everyone,

It was pointed out that the zoom link to join Richard's talk with NSBS was
left out of my previous email. Here it is:

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7092949111?pwd=Qjc0MnQ2bGdPMjEzaFhndUZXVHU4dz09
A reminder that it starts at 7:00pm tonight.

My apologies,
Riley
