    Have some friends that you think might have an interest in learning how to better utilize the resources on this site?  Send them to the Brown Bag, next Thursday at 12:15 in the ESC!  This site has so much to offer and I want to be sure that everyone knows how to use it to their advantage while creating a better world for animals!
