Too bad the picture is blurry; I keep meaning to get a professional picture taken but that takes time....
I cannot seem to RSVP for the Dry Run CCCOER on 11/30. I think the dalyuna invitee link is not working.
Thanks,
Una
A pleasure to meet you, and thank you for your warm welcome.
I've read your profile - and I just want to say that working on the web, provides a different type of classroom experience!
Looking forward to working with you.
