Aanii Patrick! It was nice to see your name come across my mailbox. Can you tell me are these RFPs open to anyone at the university level --- or would I be stepping on toes across campus (mainly Shirley Brozzo)? I haven't even looked at them but was interested. Hugs to Pam and Sherri (and you of course)!
