Our mock meeting participants (Pam Allen, Shawn Callaway, Norma Crosby, Scott LaBarre, and Marci Carpenter ) did an excellent job. Our final mock meeting will be Monday, January 24, at 8:00 p.m. EST. If you missed last night’s meeting I urge you to come Monday. Even if you attended last night’s meeting, you might still like to attend again. These practice sessions definitely pay off in the long run. I know I learn something every time we rehearse these meetings.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>All meetings will be from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST.
