December 22, 2008

Good Morning!

I hope everyone is staying warm - the temp in Minnesota hit -12 this morning, yikes! Today and tomorrow I will be going into your courses to check for 50% completion, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Last week I mentioned that I would be gone on the 24th and 25th but back on the 26th. Turns out the offices are also closed on the 26th, so I will be back in the office on Monday, December 29th and will be sure to answer any questions at that time.

I hope you all enjoy your holidays!
