Hey there,

Talk about good timing!

Just contacted my friend at the radio station and she said she was just going to do an overhaul of the calendar early tomorrow morning and not again till 2 weeks from now!

She's only got around 10 seconds to talk about an event so just sent her basics (below). Would have sent a draft for you to approve, Ann, but she literally gets there @ 4am and she needed details no later than 8am. --Later, Steph

That's awesome about the radio spot!

Great notes! Just a small item I didn't see on the minutes, just wanted to add a note about doing nametags at the event. Thanks!
