Welcome to our newsletter, The Friday Finale! We wanted to offer a simple, quick snapshot of information for you! Below are recent highlights of news over the past two weeks. Look for this to come out on a bi-weekly basis on FRIDAYS.
Yes, we are aware this is being sent on a Sunday but I had technical issues on FRIDAY and did not send it out on time. I don't want to talk about it. :)
Cheers!! | |
