This Month
September is “be kind to editors and writers month.” Be sure this month to remember our editors and writers with a smile, a pat on the back, or even a reassuring hug, along with a note that you recall at least one time recently where someone remembered subject-verb agreement or used “it” instead of “they” correctly! Happy editors and writers month!

Phone Update
The voice mail system is still down so you will continue to hear ringing phones throughout the day. Our vendor is working on the voice mail computer and will most likely have it repaired by the end of today. A big thanks to customer service for keeping things running smoothly and efficiently in spite of this temporary setback!

Brother Didier will be here all next week
Kathleen will be in Phoenix at the NCDC the 14-15th
Agata will be working for Karen on a temporary basis this week and next. She’s worked for us in the past but left to take care of her newborn baby girl.
