My thanks to the group which did most of the planning for today’s retreat. I’ve heard good things so far. The Assessment committee consists of Jan Orf, Andrea Koeppe, Conie Borchardt, Janice Kragness, Linda Hulbert, Mary Lou Schmidt and myself. I’d like to thank Julie for her work in making the arrangements at the Center for the Open Book which is a great place for us to meet. Thanks to all who came and participated. Please send us your comments so that we can continue to work on retreats and gatherings that make sense and are useful to you all. Dan
