What a wonderful week back we have had! With next week being conference week, we will have half days.
I look forward to seeing everyone during conferences. Please note, there can be some time zone confusion with the sign-up genius. Please follow the time you signed up for (as opposed to changing the time due to the time zones). For example, if you signed up for 1:00, I'll see you at 1. Thank you!
Have a wonderful weekend!
In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,
Shannon Dawson
