It was great to see those of you who came out for the EESF Chicago Cruise last week. I was impressed at the support from many of you who traveled near and far to support the EESF! I personally would like to send a warm thank you to everyone who helped make the event a success! We raised enough money to educate over 56,000 kids. We look forward to next year’s event when we hope it will be a little bit warmer and sunnier! Light on content this week but a couple of articles worthy of sharing with your colleagues. Next week there will be no show as I’ll be on vacation. I’m looking forward to a week off in the Northwood’s of Wisconsin where I’ll be enjoying the great outdoors with my family. Thanks for listening to the show today everyone, be safe out there!
