Great call this morning â thank you.

Let me know if you have any edits to the message below.

My suggestion is that we send this message out to members tonight, followed by a more general announcement tomorrow for International Literacy Day. Hope to have the registration page up tonight as well, which I will incorporate into the message.

Hi, Jeff,

Thanks for putting this together. All looks great except the last line of the FTC paragraph. I think the end phrase (âcommitment to servingâ¦â) is an accidental repeat â right?
