Summer has flown by-but we've still got Labor Day Weekend for some prime reading time. You'll find several good suggestions in this newsletter and many, many more in the upcoming Fall Issue #136.
We hope you all have a great holiday weekend and we'll see you very soon in September with exciting news!
Best,
Kate Stine
