Joanne, How awesome! Can you imagine a group seminar discussion across teen summer programs, where they can share their stories, from Arizona to Virginia, and everywhere in between? Similarly, holding some group seminars with inspirational speakers like Dr. Schroeder, Joanne Wilson, etc, how cool would that be? Edward C.
