From the PresidentWell, Spring is making an appearance here in the South and I’ve had just over a month in this role. While I’d love to say I’ve been busy coming up with grand ideas and exciting endeavours, in reality things have been moving a little slower. It’s been great to have so many messages of support over the last few weeks and I really do appreciate it! |
