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.

Hey girls...Sorry I have not posted anything. My internet has not been working so I finally came somewhere with wireless internet. Did somebody send the our blurb to Michelle? April...I hope you didn't drive all the way to Cortland since class was cancelled anyway.

-Steph

Just trying to cover all the bases here - I emailed my number to each of you and to Dr. Gonzalez. If I don't make it to class please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the workshop.

I already supplied my input about the blurb and I'm sure whatever you come up with will be great!
