Hi Team,

 

Did you see the ‘free food’ announcement for Tuesday? Now that I’ve realized that next week is not spring break, this makes more sense. I’m not sure if I’ll be attending since I have a doctor’s appointment that morning (that’s irony for you) but you should definitely consider stopping by since the Dairy Store is one of the sponsores.
