Dear   ,

Happy November everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed your Halloween and are adjusting okay to the time change!! I think losing an hour is always harder than gaining an hour, so I never mind this Daylight Savings Time!! :)

We are currently working on getting our panels and topics together for the 2015 De Pere at Dawns. This year we have decided to take a poll of some topics and see what interests people. If you could take a minute to quickly take the poll we would greatly appreciate it. Here is the link: http://survey.constantcontact.com/survey/a07ea1tloz3i1usr2uf/start . You can also fill a topic that is not listed or leave a comment as well. Thank you in advance for your time!


Have a wonderful week!
