Happy Sunday!!
Thank you again for joining us Monday to hear from our amazingly talented Dean Massey. She is truly such an inspiring person and it was so insightful hearing all about her journey to becoming Dean and all her amazing accomplishments. An additional thanks to everyone who came to our first social event of the year, "Bracelets and Banter!" It was such a success and we had a lot of fun hanging out and making bracelets together.
