We can talk Monday as to how we want to break up the roles again just to make sure we covered everything without overlapping. I can bring my computer to make it easier.

Hey Steph ~

I actually got a call from Kay on my way to Cortland telling me that class was cancelled so I was easily able to turn around and head home. I would've been soooooooooo not happy if I had gotten all the way there!!

I don't think we have even come up with a definite blurb. Perhaps we should all try to post something soon so that we can email Michele before Monday.
