The blue flexible seating chairs are a huge hit. They are sat in at every assembly, and I am now realizing that 4 probably wasn't enough because they are a hit so thank you! I had a couple items that would become unavailable, so I asked for another item that we are always in need of at Lincoln and that is reusable water bottles.
