Can you tell me what time it is expected to start -- I read 1-2 PM, but in what time ZONE? I'm USA Eastern Time! Thank you!

[FtB_Travis in reply to ThePurplePlace]

1 - 2PM Eastern Time. So in about 40 minutes.

[ThePurplePlace in reply to FtB_Travis]

Thank you! I missed the fine print ! I'll be back shortly!! For some reason I thought it would based on UK time?

[FtB_Travis in reply to ThePurplePlace]

Ah, sorry for the confusion. Since Free to Breathe is a US based organization, we usually post event information in our timezones. Great questions though!
