A message from your president
I sincerely hope that you are all taking the time to relax and recharge. We just went through a year and a half of the most strenuous work we could ever imagine. Be sure to take time to disconnect from work and reconnect with family and friends. We all need each other to heal.
That being said, I have been able to take advantage of some down time this summer -- much more than last summer! For you, I am available all summer. If I can be of any assistance before school resumes, please do not hesitate to reach me:
