Hello friends. I have a small correction, the cell phone number to call is
573 268 6989, I am so used to calling Gary that I mistakenly posted is number instead.

Hi, Debbie! I am so excited reading this agenda, and I really wish I could attend this seminar. I am finishing my third year finals on that Friday and would like to attend virtually after my last exam is done and possibly on Saturday.

Also, I would Really love to assist with or present at this event next year when I will be graduated with my doctor of Pharmacy.

Maybe we can connect at national convention.

Sincerely

Emily Schlenker
