Greetings!
Important eRISEN news: There may be
an
interruption of eRISEN service at some point in March.
An issue may not go out (or could be delayed).
Hopefully this will not impact more than one issue of

now. We realize that many of you now rely on eRISEN
soley to promote your events and we appreciate your
patience.
Peace,
Jessica Gates
