IMPORTANT DATES

Please begin to get into the habit of checking the "Recent Updates" and "Calendar" on the website. This will be the main route of communication instead of sending out all emails. It will be YOUR responsibility to make sure you that you check the updates. Every once in a while we will send out mass emails or an email to check the updates but don't rely on that email.
