Hi YGL-B! With Labor Day weekend so close, we are officially near the end of summer! We hope that in the past couple of
months, you’ve had a chance to take some time off and soak up sun. If not, don’t
despair, we have plenty of exciting events in September, before we transition to
fall and pack away the seersucker!
Don’t forget about officer
nominations, and mark your calendars for our upcoming events!
