Hi everyone! I hope your holidays were fantastic. I posted this notice on
the 20th of December and was wondering if that was truly a good idea as
everyone was probably in the throws of Holiday panic. So, I'm posting
again! My apologies for any duplication people may receive. If you have
any questions please feel free to contact me or Sarah. Also, we are
expecting to review applications and by the end of next week.
