Please join us for specific information and updates about the spring trip. It is fine to bring your questions to the meeting, however it would help us to have time to prepare the answers, so you can submit questions to Melanie Shoffner (mbshoffner620@gmail.com) and Kristi Phillips (ksphillips136@gmail.com) prior to the meeting.
