Good morning everyone,

It was wonderful getting to meet you all yesterday! As promised, I have attached the presentation to this email for your review. Crystal told me she would be putting it on y’all’s website as well.

I have put the links for the videos I included if you would like to watch those.

I am in the office Tuesday-Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. If you need to get ahold of me on weekends, email is the best way to do so. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need anything at all!

Best,
