Finally, you and I know individuals impacted by the recent hurricanes. It probably comes as no surprise to learn that our fellow ISEE Members have been helping individuals, families, and companies impacted by the hurricane and I want to convey my sincere thank you for your incredible help. 

Thank you and see you in Cherokee.
