Meeting and Event Highlights for the Week of September 6, 2021
Hello everyone,
I hope you have enjoyed your summer. As school is back in session, summer is coming to an end. I want to let folks know I was on vacation last week with my family before they went back to school ( I have 2 children in High school!) I am working hard to get through all my emails. If you feel I have not responded to you, please don't hesitate to reach out again. We get a lot of email each day, so it may have been lost in all the emails I recieve. Otherwise please know I am working hard to respond back as fast as possible. I hope everyone enjoys their Labor Day!
Thanks,
Alder Conklin
