Alice

  • It was discussed and the majority agreed that they would like to move the Winter Celebration to the second weekend of Nov. and/or be able to choose one day out of that week…making it an iaedp week. Alice presented the options at the iaedp staff meeting.

Bonnie Harken was in agreement with moving the Winter Celebration to the second Saturday of November 10, 2012.
