***Please hold your questions until after my presentation – I

may answer them during my presentation!

You may have noticed that I am expecting a baby soon!

I plan to be here as long as possible, but I may be

leaving in the next couple of weeks. I’m being watched by

my doctor for high blood pressure. Due date = Sept. 30

Amber Thompson will be the substitute. She will be here

through December and I will return January 12th (when we

all return from winter break).
