Hi David and the group,

Thank you for catching that.  In the actual newsletter, the references to dayofai.org are correct.  The error is in my email announcement of the availability of the March CSTA-WI newsletter.  Ironically credit that to the AI that’s lurking in my email app for deciding it should link AI.org - of course I should have caught that in my proofreading1
