Dear (Contact First Name),
December is a month in which we are all focused on our children, families,
and friends, and we hope that you enjoy a most wonderful holiday
season with them. In order to begin to think about your plans for the new
year, however, please take a moment to look in this newsletter at some of
the interesting professional development opportunities planned for the first
half of 2011.
Please note that the NAREA office will be closed on December 20th and will reopen on January 3rd.
Best wishes for the remaining days of December and for all of 2011!
