She told me this was the second email she had sent inviting me to sign up for a specific online community - and would I please hurry up and join so she could get more points???

Last night was the fall kick-off meeting for the Jr. League of Ann Arbor.
This meeting lays the foundation for the year - and updates members on what committees have been working on over the summer.
