From the Atelier of Our Prez:

I have adopted a new cat from the humane society and therefore have not slept for two weeks.  She’s older than I thought she was, not yet spayed, and has now gone into “season”.    She’s just started her immunization process and it will be five weeks before her surgery can be scheduled.  She and I both are climbing the walls trying to get out of the house!  Apparently I was not properly prepared for this new venture in my life.

The same cannot be said of the co-chairs organizing our upcoming conference.  They are prepared to the max!   Things are simply falling into place because Reba and Jackie keep preparing spaces for things to fall into.  Every year is a learning curve and I’m sure this year is no different.  But so far they’ve not met an obstacle they couldn’t go around.  Elaine says we’ve got 20 participants registered so far.  A good count, I think, at this stage of the game.  Many of our old friends will return;  I’m looking forward to it.
