I want to say congratulations to every participant that submitted videos. I know that several mentioned this was a stretch outside the comfort zone to present for this event, or to create a video. As well, we had 75 votes cast, and was fabulous to see the fun and engagement. This ultimately was a win for everyone, and am grateful for the presenters, those of you that voted, and each of you reading this. Well done!
