From the Director
Fun-bruary rolls on! Thanks to all who joined us for the first “+2 (no, its not ready yet) porch night”. Looking forward to hosting again next week. It was also great to see you outdoors in the courtyard on Friday for lunch – spring is almost here. We’ve finished up our fellowship prep sessions, so please be on the lookout for the signup for 1:1 meetings coming out this week. Plus there is upcoming res-i-teering and the baking contest with contestants Sandra Au, Emory Buck, Jo Cavalier, Fouad Chouari, Ryan Duffy, and Bari Rosenberg. If you were planning to sign up, you still can!
