Consequently, there are people who'd like to stay informed about TOT, but due to technical difficulties, they can't. :( So please try to spread the word about TOT to those who you think might be interested. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––– That concludes this TOT Meeting Recap! Thank you for reading! We meet every other week, so I can't wait to see you again at our next meeting on Thursday, October 13th @ 7 pm, Educ 2008.
