Great meeting all! 😊 Welcome again, Toi!

Thanks to Janet and Lori, as always, for presenting and helping to moderate the meeting!  Thank you to each of you as well for participating, sharing updates on your programming, and doing your part to ensure this year remains such a marked improvement over last year!
