To those of you who’ve attended all or some of our last 10 online presentations of Up Close & Social we want to take this moment to say thank you. Seriously, thanks for hanging out with us, learning and laughing with us over the past few months and a great thanks to our amazingly talented and gracious speakers. It means a lot to us. We’re always looking for ways to improve, and share information that would benefit you, our reader, so we’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions about our weekly zoom presentations.
