Just another friendly reminder of the importance of this Webinar and also a reminder of that the BC Members call is scheduled for Sept 1<BR>
and so I want to be sure members are aware of both events. <BR>
<BR>
The Webinar will be transcribed. We will provide for a 15 minute discussion on the Webinar in the BC Members meeting.<BR>
<BR>
I realize that not all members will be able to participate in it, but wanted to remind you. .. I expect the details to be sent<BR>
out shortly.... so this is just a reminder. <BR>
<BR>
Bene will separately notify you of the BC members call details which will be on bcprivate.<BR>
