Good morning everybody we’re looking forward to seeing all of you here very soon!

Just one piece of information for all of you to be aware of who are coming today. You’ll need to park in the ramp across the road from the main entrance of Mary Greeley and make your way back to the Bessie Myers auditorium. There will be signs to follow to help guide your way. They’re doing construction at the north entrance of the building which prevents us from parking there.
